Motorcycle Number Plates - Everything you need to know
The Importance of Motorcycle Number Plates
As a UK bike enthusiast, you understand that motorcycle number plates aren’t just a legal requirement; they also serve as an essential part of your motorbike’s identity. Replacement bike number plates can showcase your unique style, flair, or even your personality. Motorcycle number plates are the distinguishing mark that sets your bike apart from the rest of the pack.
Legally, a motorcycle number plate is vital to ensure you’re identifiable and accountable in case of traffic violations or incidents. It facilitates quick recognition of your bike, adds detailed information to the national database, and enables swift response in case of theft.
At Show Plates World, we are passionate about supporting bike enthusiasts like you to express yourselves while complying with the law. Our motorcycle number plates fulfil legal requirements when Road Legal is chosen on the builder, maintaining quality and bringing the potential to personalise for a unique touch.
Legal Requirements for Motorcycle Number Plates in the UK
Motorcycle number plates in the UK are regulated by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), and using an illegal plate can lead to a fine, so getting it right is essential.
A road legal motorcycle number plate must:
- be made from reflective material, with black characters on a yellow background (motorcycles display a rear plate only)
- use the Charles Wright 2001 font
- have characters 64mm tall and 44mm wide (except the number 1 and the letter I), with a 10mm stroke and 10mm between characters
- leave a margin of at least 11mm around the characters, with 13mm between the two lines
- show the British Standard mark (BSAU145e) and the name and postcode of the plate supplier
Motorcycles registered on or after 1 September 2001 must only display a number plate at the rear.
When you choose Road Legal from the Legal or Show? option on our builder, your plate is set out to these rules.
Are your motorcycle number plates road-legal at Show Plates World?
Yes, when Road Legal is chosen on the builder. Our road legal motorcycle plates are made with BSAU145e specification components and fully meet UK legal standards, so you stay on the right side of the law with a plate that represents you and your machine.
Exploring the Range of Design Options for Motorcycle Number Plates
You can design your motorcycle number plate in just a few steps. Choose your text style (printed, 3D Gel, 4D laser cut or 5D), your plate size, a border and a national flag badge, and you'll see a preview of your plate before you order.
Road legal plates use the Charles Wright font on a yellow reflective background, as the law requires, so the styling comes from the text style, border and badge. Choose Road Legal from the Legal or Show? option on the builder for a plate you can use on the road.
What sizes are available for motorcycle number plates?
We offer a variety of sizes for motorcycle number plates to fit different bike models and personal preferences. Our standard sizes comply with UK regulations, so they are road legal when Road Legal is chosen on the builder.
Are 3D Gel, 4D and 5D number plates available for motorcycles?
Yes, we offer 3D Gel, Laser Cut 4D and 5D number plates for motorcycles. These options allow you to add a stylish, three-dimensional effect to your plates while remaining compliant with legal standards when Road Legal is chosen on the builder.
How durable are your motorcycle number plates?
Our motorcycle number plates come in Standard, or you can choose Premium Acrylic, which gives a deeper, glossier finish with sharper, richer black characters and is more durable. All of our plates use BSAU145e specification components and are resistant to weather, UV rays and impacts, so they keep their appearance ride after ride.
How long does it take to receive my motorcycle number plates?
Once you place your order, your motorcycle number plates are dispatched the same day if ordered before 2pm (Monday to Friday). Priority delivery takes 1-2 working days and standard delivery 2-4 working days.
Can I add a border or badge to my motorcycle number plate?
Yes, you can add a border and a national flag badge to your motorcycle number plate. Borders and badges come in a variety of colours to match your bike’s look and your personal style.
