MOTORBIKE REGISTRATION PLATES
Combining exceptional quality and a sleek modern look, Plates Express uses state-of-the-art
technology and high-grade materials to produce custom bike number plates that are affordable
and never compromise on quality.
ARE MOTORCYCLE NUMBER PLATES LEGAL?
Yes, 9×7 inch standard motorcycle number plates are entirely legal in the UK. They meet all DVLA
regulations, including size, font, spacing, and reflectivity.
When you choose the “Legal” plate type in our plate maker, you can be confident that your
number plate will fully comply with UK laws.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CUSTOM MOTORCYCLE PLATES AND LEGAL PLATES
Understanding the difference between custom and legal motorcycle plates is crucial for both
style and compliance.
To be road-legal, Motorcycle plates must meet DVLA standards for size (9×7 inch is the only UK legal size) font, spacing, and reflectivity.
At Plates Express, our show plate maker includes a “Legal” option, ensuring your custom plates
comply with UK regulations. This allows you to enjoy a personalised look while riding confidently
within the law.
Motorcycle show plates are designed for display purposes only, offer maximum customisation for
events, exhibitions, or off-road use, and using them on public roads can result in fines or
penalties.
At Plates Express, we offer a range of options for both legal and show plates, ensuring you have
the perfect plate for any occasion.
