How many Talaria TL motorcycles are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 212 licensed and 225 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Talaria TL generic-model group.

Looking at a TL?

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

Is the TL disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 259 in 2024 Q3 and stand at 212 in 2026 Q1, down 18%. A further 225 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 437 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 Talaria TL generic-model group as battery-electric.

Talaria TL first appears in the published DfT series in 2023 Q2. 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 437 TL vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (225 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual TL — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
