HOW MANY YAMAHA YZF R6 ARE LEFT?

There are 142 YAMAHA YZF R6 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 180 YAMAHA YZF R6 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of YAMAHA YZF R6 was highest during 2016 Q3 (375). The number taxed topped out in 2016 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 53 (14%) YAMAHA YZF R6 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q4 the number of YAMAHA YZF 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 YZF R6 has fallen by 12. Licensed models have fallen by 152 and the SORNed total has increased by 140.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 19 YAMAHA YZF R6 models. Taxed models have declined by 69 and the SORNed total has increased by 50.

56% of the remaining 322 YAMAHA YZF R6 in the UK are currently off the road.
