Motorbike number plates
Motorbike number plates are typically square and of a limited and
prescribed size. See:
number plate sizes
The DVLA permits motorbikes to only have a rear number plate - a practise
that is in force today and has been for some time.
There is a great deal of bikers who have illegal motorbike number plates that are
either too small or illegible and the police sporadically crack down on
motorbike number plate offences but generally tolerate it as a nuisance.
Motorbikes and mopeds can participate in the
DVLA number plate transfer
scheme so a number plate you hold on a moped or number plate you hold on a
motorbike can be transferred across to a car or onto retention so long
as you meet the criteria for the cherished transfer.

When number plates were fist assigned to
motorbikes it was mandatory that they also displayed a front number plate
but due to the absence of large mudguards on new bikes and in a rethink
on legislation it was decided that motorbike number plates need only be
displayed to the rear.
