How many Harley-Davidson FXD motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 254 licensed and 396 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Harley-Davidson FXD generic-model group.

Looking at a FXD?

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 FXD is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the FXD disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 446 in 2018 Q3 and stand at 254 in 2026 Q1, down 43%. That is down 16% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 396 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 650 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.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Harley-Davidson FXD generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 650 FXD vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (396 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 43% from the 2018 Q3 peak of 446. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual FXD — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
