HOW MANY HONDA XL500R ARE LEFT?

There are 28 HONDA XL500R left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 85 HONDA XL500R that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more HONDA XL500R, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

During 2007 Q4 the number of HONDA XL500R that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of HONDA XL500R has gained 21. Licensed models have increased by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 14.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 15 HONDA XL500R models. Taxed models have grown by 11 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

75% of the remaining 113 HONDA XL500R in the UK are currently off the road.
