Private Number Plates for Motorbikes

Of course, motorcyclists also enjoy this same level of personalisation. Which is surprising as many do not know there is nothing stopping you from getting your own personalised motorcycle plate.

Whether it’s purely from a style point of view or wanting to stand out from the rest, we’re here to help you put your (registration) mark on your wheels.

No matter what two wheels (or three in some cases) you ride on, we offer number plates for standard, cruiser, touring, sports, off-road, and dual-purpose motorbikes. We even offer number plates for mopeds and tricycles.

What you decide to put on your personalised plate is entirely down to you and your imagination. It could be a nickname, your favourite hobby, or even your motorcycle’s model. We’ve even had people pick plates purely as a conversation starter.

What are the rules for UK motorcycle number plates?

Like other vehicle plates, motorcycle number plates also have a set of DVLA regulations they must adhere to. Here are the most significant ones:

  • If registered after 01/09/2001, your registration must be displayed over two lines and have only one number plate located at the rear.
  • All motorcycle registration characters must be 64mm in height with a width of 44mm.
  • Motorcycle plates must have black text on a yellow background, if the motorcyle was first registered after 01/01/1980.
  • You can have “3D style” raised lettering on your motorcycle plate.

For more information, check out our UK Motorcycle Number Plate Guide and rest assured that TopReg’s motorbike number plates obey all the rules and restrictions laid out by the DVLA.
