Very interesting.

According to that, approx 2014 Q4, there will be more SORN VTRs than on the road...

Also interesting to note that there are fewer RR6 and RR7s on the road than Storms, and how few RR9, RR10, RR11, and RR12's there are. There are more Storms still on the road than all the 9's, 10's, 11's and 12's put together.

Only 3.5k storms in the country? Think we may be missing a few members on the forum then :lol:

I'm wondering if the drop at the end is because the bikes are either no longer SORN and have been put back to use on the road or if it's because they have been scrapped/broken for parts.

And for those not in the know SORN is the Statutory Off Road Notice we have to have if a bike is not Taxed and on the road.

I wouldn't take any of that as fact, I don't know where they get their info from. I put a few Suzuki models in and I know of more on the road than what they say, couldn't even find some models :roll:
