Figures currently say 16 on the road and 38 SORN - are there really only 54 left in the UK?

I find that hard to believe given that there are 2 for sale on Ebay at the moment

I'm inclined to believe the numbers as I've only see one other on the road in the last 3 years. That was in Hinchley Wood, Surrey.
Who else on this forum has an XTZ750 in the UK? Where are you all?!

Deepest darkest Kent. I know a Rhodesian guy who lives near me, his xtz has got a 4TX implant and he travels everywhere on it. Michael by memory, nice guy.

I agree with Mezo, it's total rubbish.
Used by sellers on ebay who want to big up their Austin Allegro :chinese:

I think with cars, it is slightly different as individual models came with differing specs and engine sizes - and were often registered as such. So it may be correct to say that there are only 10 Austin Allegro 1.5 Vanden Plas left on the road ... but there are another 10 each of 50 variants as well.

Whereas an XTZ750 is exactly that - and registered as that.

Still surprises me though that there are only circa 50 in the UK.

Yep. Got one here in Derby, since 2018. I ride it a lot, including quite a bit of green lanes. If anyone wants to join me sometime would appreciate the company.

Hopefully one more tomorrow after its MOT
It's taken a while I know ,but even with planning and working to pay for parts you cant plan for breakdowns in the spray shop.
First time out of the garage since a full strip down
