HOW MANY KAWASAKI ER 500 C3 ARE LEFT?

There are 48 KAWASAKI ER 500 C3 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 123 KAWASAKI ER 500 C3 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KAWASAKI ER 500 C3 was highest during 2005 Q4 (283). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 112 (40%) KAWASAKI ER 500 C3 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of KAWASAKI ER 500 C3 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.
