HONDA CB Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 18 HONDA CBs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 48 in 2014 Q3 — only 38% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 30 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (4.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2042 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the HONDA CB is rarer than 75% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
