How many Honda Nb50m motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 19 licensed and 211 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Honda Nb50m generic-model group.

Looking at a Nb50m?

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 Nb50m is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Nb50m disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 54 in 2014 Q4 and stand at 19 in 2026 Q1, down 65%. That is down 24% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

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.
