How Many Left?

[benny hedges]

someone asked this question a while back -
i found this on another site - it's brill!

shows how many of a particular model were taxed, sorned or scrapped each year!
have a go!!!
the firestorm btw is getting pretty rare - if you have a good one you should keep hold of it!

That's interesting data. Population is about 3500 now, and has dropped 193 in last 4 quarters. Although in 1st qtr last year the population increased by 83, which must be a combination of imports and people rebuilding writen off bikes as winter projects!?

But on those rates of decay it will be 18 years till we are extinct

never coz im never getting rid of mine

[Twinpotter]

Indeed, interesting.
There doesn't seem to be too much of a rate of decline but that's a high rate of SORNs.
I'll not be getting rid of mine either.

i think the sorn rate shows that riders get attached to the firestorm and cant bear to part with them even after getting a new bike

marvellous!! i have now learnt that there only 14 other people driving the exact same clapped out citroen as me!

mot next month and ive already told it that a big failure means a trip to the scappy!!

it reckons that there is not a single yam dt175 left though?... i loved mine when i was about 19!

[lumpyv]

not so sure i believe it!

checked some other ex- bikes of mine and it says the honda cb 200 is extinct
( swear i saw one the other day) and the cb550k3 is down to 4 + 3 sorned?

Storms are common as muck compared to my GPz 550 or zx550 A1 as it is shown, 133 in the country 43 on the road!

Most common vehicle of our vehicles is a 1967 SWB Landy 8939 of those on the road and 7381 sorn

[warby221]

according to that there was only 50 or so sp1 on the road in 2010 and 16 knocking about in some 1's garages somewhere
so a grand total of 66
oooooooo im in an exclusive club

edit
just had a look and there's only 10+ less RC30 about

I just checked out my other bike Yam FZ750, in 1997 there was 1 total but now 10 live and 13 sorned. somehow I don't believe it.

[benny hedges]

was no sorn in 97 though... dunno when it started but dont think it was that far back.
its a register of how many were taxed.
seeing as all yam owners are chavs and pikeys and dont bother taxing their bikes (except off other people), it's probably right

2 Yamaha FS1's
6 TZR 125 LC's... Now that I know to be baldrocks, as I have 1 (when I eventually clear space to bring it home), and the guy I got it off has about 8 of the buggers. Plus, the same guy has a rather tidy FS1-E sat in the corner.

i know of 2 TZR 125's in my mates garage been badgering him to get them back on the road. both d reg blue and yellow ones
