Baotian BT motorcycles: how many are still registered?

3,387still registered

Baotian BT motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 33 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 5,661 (2008 Q3) - 59.8% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 3.3% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,861 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2062.

3,206 of the survivors (94.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 3,387 surviving Baotian BT motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 1,857 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 62.8% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
