HOW MANY KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 ARE LEFT?

There are 15 KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 11 KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 was highest during 2019 Q3 (30). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 4 (13%) KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q4 the number of KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 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 N1 has fallen by 1. Licensed models have fallen by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2 KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

58% of the surviving 26 KAWASAKI VN1500 N1 in the UK are still on the road.
