I have a slightly undersize one on the Bandit and have never been pulled for it.
If they do stop you, the maximum is 3 points as far as I know.

I have a 9x3 numberplate with a slogan. Been pulled up twice in 2 days by the same copper. First time I said that it was like that when I bought it, and didn't know it was illegal. He pulled me up the next day and gave me more crap about it, and I told him one was being made up but it wouldn't be ready till the weekend... he fell for it and I have never seen him since... my bike has been broke for a couple of weeks so I won't see him again while I am on the NSR.... but I will be getting a stupidly small plate on my nextbike... big plates look shite.

THE FINE FOR A SMALL PLATE IS MAXIMUM OF £20 and a producer, for the moment....


i spoke to an officer and he said that if u got a slightly smaller plate ull be ok but plate that take the piss EG 4 inchs by 1/2 an inch, ull get a fine and producer...


but y do u want to attract more attention to urselves buy sticking a small plate on, i wear a illegal Black visor and everything else is legal ( and i usually carry the legal one with me so i dont have the hassle of getting stopped and getting producers, on my next bike ill have a race can but will get the 'NOT FOR ROAD USE' mark taken off somehow!

but small plates on 125s are useless, id u had 1 on an R1 its ok cause u can piss off b4 the cops can get a chance to c ur plate, and somehow u cant do that on a NSR!!!

I have small number plate, iridium visor, and no L plates. What do you mean you can't get away from the coppers??? Usually they are travelling in the opposite direction so you've buggered off before they see you, and if they come from behind you you'll see em a mile off if you're using your mirrors enough. I have never been done for any of the above because I used the excuse in the earlier thread for the number plate, and on my visor I got someone to engrave 'legal for daytime use' on, plus I have a visor pal to carry my clear one with me. I have never been done for no L plates, because I carry all my documents with me apart from my licence so if they can see I am insured, taxed, etc they more or less presume you have a licence, especially when you use the old 'Bloody hell I had to send the insurance company a photocopy of my licence before they'd insure me' excuse.

hmm, wat if u got a cop on a bike behind u a pan goes faster than an nsr,

about the l-plate thing if u have an accident u aont insured! and if u killed a third party... ur FUCKED, and u have to sell ur house or ur parents do to pay the fees and to pay out! which the insurers will not do!

I have seen two bikers in the past two days with REALLY tiny plates. They must have been about 2 inches downwards and about 5 or 6 inches across. If a police car is following you when you have a plate that tiny on the back they cant really miss it can they.

[Doddmaster]

I'd consider a slightly undersize one, but there's no point drawing attention to yourself with tiny plates

[M1ke]

Yeh slightly under size would be cool (minus 1 or 2 inches off standard size maybe) But i would want room for my slogan! (you can read my slogan in my sig )

I never said the plate was a legal size. The text is the right size, but the plate is slightly smaller, not that the police could tell by looking - they would have to physically measure it

[Mrs_Hippy]

[PsychoHippy]

Yeah, then all my posts would be from her ^

i got pulled twice in the same week for a plate about 1.5" x 6" (approx 3 fag packets in a row on their sides)

1st by a T5, i was goin throu' town on a 3 lane (turn left, straight forward, turn right) part up to some lights, i was waitin to go right at the lights when i saw him comin from behind. Then when the lights went green he flashed his lights went right across the road cut the car up behind me and signalled in the window for me to pull up a head . If u try running from one of those with flashin lights i take my hat off to ya. He gave me a produce'a after i gave the bullshit story 'it came with the bike', 'i didn't know it stopped speed camaras from gettin u' and 'i thought it made it look nice'.

2nd after a mate of mine had a 'HHHUUUGGEE' crash and the emergency services came (he broke his back), anyway when the police arrived they spotted my bike and gave me a tellin off, then he got really mad when i sad i already had a producer and proclaimed that he couldn't do anything about it (big big mistake) he then went off on one saying things like 'that piece of paper means SHIT', then i pleaded about how my mate had crashed, then he said he never wanted to see me again and if he did he'd do me for everything he could

i don't think small plates are worth the hassle, they just annoy the bacon. I think u'd get away with a slightly smaller one, but nothin rediculasly small

I think large number plates on bikes look daft, but in all honesty I can do without the hasstle from the police. I would rather have a stupid number plate than be repeatedly pulled over (think of the time wasted and the producers..... I dont know about any others - but where I live, the stations are so small you have to wait about 30min just for an officer to notice you're waiting there!

I forget where, but I can remember reading something along the lines of:
Think what it'd be like if one of your relatives was hit by someone with a small plate who then buggered off and no one could read the plate.... Okay maybe you're not going to do that, but the Police don't know that.

i had a slogan which said back off im drunk and ive got a knife. i never got a tug i kinda wish i would of.

The actual letters on my number plate aren't THAT small, it's just that instead of having my number plate in this format:-

A123
XYZ

I have it like this:-

A123 XYZ

Like cars have, but obviously smaller. It isn't like 2 inches by 6 inches, its 9x3.
