Personalised plates say to the world “I am a narcissistic arsehole with more money than sense”. Apart from that, they’re fine.
It’s my personal opinion, based on people I know who have them. The majority, although not all, fall in to that category.
Private plates Tart, private plates look a bit crap imo. What's wrong with a 7x5 with 7 letters on it??
The only one I've seen for years I liked was at the TT this year. There was a young lad queued for the ferry at Liverpool on a Kawasaki EN or whatever they're called... OO11 SHT Made me chuckle. By contrast an ex-colleague (Nigel) had B19NIG on his Harley and he was an utter tool. I've toyed with them over the years but never puller the trigger as they're a bit... I still sometimes pass ten happy minutes on Plates4Less and almost bought EL54CAT (I had a cat called Elsa), almost bought H3UER (I have an old Monaco)... and so on. I would rather spend the money on the bike TBH. Do like a nice small plate though...
As long as it’s not a Polite vest, or flouro stickers to make your bike look like plod, or a Mohican hair piece on your helmet, add to it what you like. Whether it looks tat to me or anyone else else is immaterial
£400 buys a lot more fun things than a plate. New jacket, new helmet, weekend away... I'd struggle to justify it but to each their own. £12 to these guys & you can have a more nicely proportioned version of yours. I put a 7x5 on the back of my Hyper and it doesn't look as naughty as I thought it would. Chose the option to have the letters legally sized and spaced and it looks kinda, almost, mabye legit. If I squint my eyes... https://proplates.co.uk/custom-number-plates/builder/
