How many Lexmoto CL motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 252 licensed and 135 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Lexmoto CL generic-model group.

Looking at a CL?

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

Is the CL disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 402 in 2022 Q3 and stand at 252 in 2026 Q1, down 37%. That is up 25100% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 135 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 387 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 and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Lexmoto CL generic-model group as petrol.

Lexmoto CL first appears in the published DfT series in 2021 Q1. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 387 CL vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (135 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 37% from the 2022 Q3 peak of 402. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual CL — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
