HOW MANY KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 ARE LEFT?

There are 119 KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 505 KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 was highest during 1997 Q4 (1,130). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 506 (45%) KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q4 the number of KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 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 KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 has fallen by 104. Licensed models have fallen by 241 and the SORNed total has increased by 137.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 52 KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 models. Taxed models have declined by 82 and the SORNed total has increased by 30.

81% of the remaining 624 KAWASAKI ER 500 A1 in the UK are currently off the road.
