At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 147 licensed and 177 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Harley-Davidson Fxdbi generic-model group.

Looking at a Fxdbi?

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

Is the Fxdbi disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 306 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 147 in 2026 Q1, down 52%. That is down 18% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 177 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 324 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.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 324 Fxdbi vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (177 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 52% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 306. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual Fxdbi — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
