Yamaha XP motorcycles: how many are still registered?

1,293still registered

Yamaha XP motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 7 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 1,605 (2015 Q4) - 80.5% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 3.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,085 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2033.

721 of the survivors (55.7%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 1,293 surviving Yamaha XP motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 684 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 55.0% 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.
