HOW MANY YAMAHA XJ 900 S ARE LEFT?

There are 487 YAMAHA XJ 900 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 898 YAMAHA XJ 900 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of YAMAHA XJ 900 S was highest during 2007 Q4 (1,868). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 483 (26%) YAMAHA XJ 900 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of YAMAHA XJ 900 S 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 XJ 900 S has fallen by 263. Licensed models have fallen by 605 and the SORNed total has increased by 342.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 137 YAMAHA XJ 900 S models. Taxed models have declined by 245 and the SORNed total has increased by 108.

65% of the remaining 1,385 YAMAHA XJ 900 S in the UK are currently off the road.
