HOW MANY YAMAHA R6 ARE LEFT?

There are 1,762 YAMAHA R6 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3,976 YAMAHA R6 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of YAMAHA R6 was highest during 2004 Q4 (9,190). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 3,452 (38%) YAMAHA R6 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of YAMAHA R6 that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of YAMAHA R6 has fallen by 887. Licensed models have fallen by 2,519 and the SORNed total has increased by 1,632.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 553 YAMAHA R6 models. Taxed models have declined by 861 and the SORNed total has increased by 308.

69% of the remaining 5,738 YAMAHA R6 in the UK are currently off the road.
