HOW MANY SUZUKI GS 500 K5 ARE LEFT?

There are 55 SUZUKI GS 500 K5 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 134 SUZUKI GS 500 K5 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SUZUKI GS 500 K5 was highest during 2007 Q4 (328). The number taxed topped out in 2007 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 139 (42%) SUZUKI GS 500 K5 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of SUZUKI GS 500 K5 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.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 32 SUZUKI GS 500 K5 models. Taxed models have declined by 46 and the SORNed total has increased by 14.

71% of the remaining 189 SUZUKI GS 500 K5 in the UK are currently off the road.
