UK vehicle statistics / BRP

How many BRP CAN-AM Ryker cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 450 licensed and 110 SORN vehicles in the UK within the BRP CAN-AM Ryker generic-model group.

Looking at a CAN-AM Ryker?

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 CAN-AM Ryker is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the CAN-AM Ryker disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 480 in 2025 Q2 and stand at 450 in 2026 Q1, down 6%. That is up 132% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 110 are declared SORN — 1 in 5 of the 560 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.
