HOW MANY SUZUKI GS500K1 ARE LEFT?

There are 44 SUZUKI GS500K1 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 186 SUZUKI GS500K1 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SUZUKI GS500K1 was highest during 2002 Q4 (393). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 163 (41%) SUZUKI GS500K1 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of SUZUKI GS500K1 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 SUZUKI GS500K1 has fallen by 70. Licensed models have fallen by 130 and the SORNed total has increased by 60.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 30 SUZUKI GS500K1 models. Taxed models have declined by 40 and the SORNed total has increased by 10.

81% of the remaining 230 SUZUKI GS500K1 in the UK are currently off the road.
