Yamaha TW motorcycles: how many are still registered?

1,093still registered

Yamaha TW motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 3 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 1,449 (2004 Q4) - 75.4% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.0% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,038 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2034.

865 of the survivors (79.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 1,093 surviving Yamaha TW motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 12 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 98.9% 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.
