How many Suzuki TS 50 motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 60 licensed and 398 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Suzuki TS 50 generic-model group.

Looking at a TS 50?

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 TS 50 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the TS 50 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 174 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 60 in 2026 Q1, down 66%. That is down 23% 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.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Suzuki TS 50 generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 66% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 174. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual TS 50 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
