It is?
[edit] oh yes, right at the bottom of https://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regmarks/reg_marks_current_requirements.htm it says :-

I'm afraid so, but mines tiny (my plate smartarse  ) so I can't see how a slogan's going to make any difference.

In the past I've toyed with the idea of printing thin labels from the computer. You can get clear sheets to print on ok with an inkjet. Then just stick onto the plate and if anyone questions it then it'll peel straight off.
This way it'd be like having your own set of signatures - change depending on who you're riding with or where you're going. Still not sure if it'd be 100% legal but cheaper and more fun than changing your plate.

It can't be illegal seen as every bike/car/van and lorry seem to come with abby veichals/sutton motorcycle slogans at the bottom of their plates

To have a custom slogo on your plate your more than likely going to have a new plate made up (okay stickers fine, but most have a new plate) and if you have a new plate made it up it's more than likely going to be smaller than legal sized..
So even if the slogan isn't legal as such what does it really matter if the plate is smaller than legal sized in the first place...
Stickers can go on legal sized plates but I can't really see a copper being that much of a twat over a sticker should hope not anyway

| Quote: | Rules for the display of number plates are set out in law, briefly these are: -
A number plate must be displayed at the front and rear of motor vehicles (with some exceptions).
Number Plates must be easy to read and meet the British Standard.
Lettering should be black on a white plate at the front and a yellow at the rear.
The background surface should be reflex-reflecting but the characters must not.
There are separate requirements for traditional number plates displayed on vehicles constructed before 1 January 1973.
Lettering and spacing must be of a set size. They must conform to one of the groups shown at:- Number plates fitted after 1 September 2001 or Number plates fitted before 1 September 2001. |
| Quote: | The British Standard also requires that a number plate must be marked with the following information: -
The British Standard Number (currently BS AU 145d)
The name, trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier. (The company who actually make the number plate.)
The name and postcode of the supplying outlet. (The 'supplying outlet' is taken to mean a company whose business consists wholly or partly of selling number plates.)
A non-reflective border and the Euro-symbol with the national identification letters are optional additions.
There shall be no other markings or material contained on the number plate. |
| Ste wrote: | Slogans are no more illegal than the garage a bike comes from putting a plate with their name and details on the bottom of it. |
Looks illegal to me. Garages are allowed to put their details on by virtue of being "a company whose business consists wholly or partly of selling number plates".
