Honda XR motorcycles: how many are still registered?

2,882still registered

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 4,236 (2008 Q3) - 68.0% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 0.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,752 in 2030.

2,079 of the survivors (72.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 2,882 surviving Honda XR motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 349 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 89.1% 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.
