HOW MANY SUZUKI GS 500 ARE LEFT?

There are 787 SUZUKI GS 500 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2,391 SUZUKI GS 500 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SUZUKI GS 500 was highest during 2008 Q4 (5,212). The number taxed topped out in 2008 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 2,034 (39%) SUZUKI GS 500 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of SUZUKI GS 500 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 GS 500 has fallen by 833. Licensed models have fallen by 1,704 and the SORNed total has increased by 871.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 468 SUZUKI GS 500 models. Taxed models have declined by 558 and the SORNed total has increased by 90.

75% of the remaining 3,178 SUZUKI GS 500 in the UK are currently off the road.
