HOW MANY KAWASAKI Z550 G8 ARE LEFT?

There are 13 KAWASAKI Z550 G8 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 80 KAWASAKI Z550 G8 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of KAWASAKI Z550 G8 was highest during 1994 Q4 (249). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 156 (63%) KAWASAKI Z550 G8 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of KAWASAKI Z550 G8 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 Z550 G8 has fallen by 1. Licensed models have fallen by 24 and the SORNed total has increased by 23.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2 KAWASAKI Z550 G8 models. Taxed models have declined by 3 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

86% of the remaining 93 KAWASAKI Z550 G8 in the UK are currently off the road.
