Yamaha XC motorcycles: how many are still registered?

3,752still registered

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

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 6,510 (2016 Q4) - 57.6% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 6.1% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,738 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2046.

2,334 of the survivors (62.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 3,752 surviving Yamaha XC motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 3,168 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 48.5% 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.
