Yamaha SR motorcycles: how many are still registered?

2,070still registered

Yamaha SR motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 4 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 2,780 (2002 Q4) - 74.4% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,966 in 2030.

1,579 of the survivors (76.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 2,070 surviving Yamaha SR motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 169 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 92.2% 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.
