HOW MANY KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 ARE LEFT?

There are 17 KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 11 KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 was highest during 2007 Q4 (43). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 15 (35%) KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q4 the number of KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 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 VN1500 L2 has fallen by 3. Licensed models have fallen by 5 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 3 KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 models. Taxed models have declined by 5 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

61% of the surviving 28 KAWASAKI VN1500 L2 in the UK are still on the road.
