Member Contributer Synaptic Misfire Posted August 9, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted August 9, 2006 I had considered doing that after my wreck. I may still do it with my track plastics. I think that is the sexiest race scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer oyama Posted August 18, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted August 18, 2006 .....did you notice the SIZE of that LICENSE PLATE????? :rolleyes: Must be a European bike.

Guest BlueVFRank Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) It's German. The fines are pretty heavy overhere when caught with a non-official licenseplate. If i'm not mistaken only england allows "home made" licensplates. I used to ride with 2 small moons cut out of the plate so i could mount it between the pipes. This was only possible because of my custom pipes and the right letter combination on the plates because else it wouldn't fit.

Guest Victor_Meldrew Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) If i'm not mistaken only england allows "home made" licensplates. You ARE mistaken ...... in the UK the police are now VERY keen to prosecute bikes for (i) illegally sized registration plates (ii) race cans (iii) dark visors ... especially small plates... bastids!! Reason for this is President Blair's insistence that our nation is monitored at all times by cameras, especially the proliferation of speed - sorry, "safety" - cameras and ANPR ( automatic number plate recognition ) cameras ( to check insurance,MoT , stolen vehicle database etc etc ) .. Small / homemade plates cannot be checked by these systems, so the police have been told to crack down on them. Mind you, it doesnt stop riders from putting small plates on, and race cans etc , but these are NOT allowed legally ...!!

Beck Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I dunno, I think the Castrol paint scheme does not seem to work too well with the 6th gen's angular lines. I guess I got too used to seeing it on the 45s all those years. Didn't look as good either on the 51s. Maybe something more like the Repsol MotoGP scheme would look better on the 6th gen.

Rant over Cheers V_M I thought so, was a bit misled because i see a lot of UK bikes over here on the mainland with small plates. Yes your prime minister learned a lot during his trips to the netherlands! At least youre alowed to have radardetectors, there almost an capital offence overhere and the police love their radardetectordetectors (hows that for scrabble) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was only possible because of my custom pipes and the right letter combination on the plates because else it wouldn't fit. I thought it was italian at first until I saw the surrounding area in the second picture. Definitely Germany. When I lived there with my first VFR I didn't have one of those plates, but I did have to use the USAREUR military plate. Essentially it was a full size cage plate from the states. It wasn't much better. I have a picture of it at home, I'll upload it later. Edited August 21, 2006 by MotoTacoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes your prime minister learned a lot during his trips to the netherlands! At least youre alowed to have radardetectors, there almost an capital offence overhere and the police love their radardetectordetectors (hows that for scrabble) Well, yes and no... There isn't a "regulation size" numberplate in the UK, but there are numberplate regulations that govern the size of numberplates...Which are not generally "homemade" in the sense of you making it in your garage, but they are made for the bike's registered "keeper" by private companies/shops and not issued by the government. Most people in the UK are under the misimpression that UK motorcycle numberplates have to be a certain size to be legal (9" x 7"), but this is incorrect. In fact, the minimum size (not even sure there is a maximum!) is based on the particular registration mark of the vehicle. Accordingly, if your bike's registration mark is "R123 ABC", there is a certain size that can be calculated under the regulations and that size would be required. However, if your bike's registration mark was "VFR" (you'd have to have been verywealthy to get this--registration marks are auctioned and bought and sold privately), a MUCH smaller plate would be perfectly legal. That said, I fit a much smaller plate when abroad on the bike--who you gonna tell? :P Ciao, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
