UK vehicle statistics / Bluroc

How many Bluroc Hero motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 155 licensed and 59 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Bluroc Hero generic-model group.

Looking at a Hero?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Hero is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Hero disappearing?

155 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Hero is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. A further 59 are declared SORN — 1 in 4 of the 214 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.
