[quote=MarioCP]No front plate in Portugal either. Not sure about aerodynamics, but the two fake machine guns at the front command respect. laugh2

https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates/rules-number-plates

"
If you ride a motorbike or motor tricycle

Motorcycles and motor tricycles registered on or after 1 September 2001 must only display a number plate at the rear of the vehicle.


If you ride a motorbike or motor tricycle registered before 1 September 2001 you can also display a number plate at the front, but you don’t have to.

Motorcycle and motor tricycle number plate numbers should be on 2 lines.

I like the look with no plate.

I had thought it would be a bit bare but it suits it quite well and may improve the cooling of the bottom of the motor.

I like the conspicuity of a number on reflective plates at this time of year. I can relish the look when I make it home safely..!

Scott the Piaggio MP3 is classed as a motorcycle & thus does not need a front plate. The M3W is classed PLG ie a car so I reckon it does need a front number plate.
I had a MP3 which I traded for the M3W. On one occasion took it to a MOT tester that does bikes & they refused as it has 3 wheels. Took it to somewhere that does trikes & bikes & they said first place was talking cobblers.

This has been much discussed before ! And is a somewhat grey area ...

Although the M3W is taxed as PLG due to its weight , its body type is given as tricycle in the registration document .

It looks good without a front plate. But do not drive to fast ;-)) Because without the front plate the police has a lot of trouble to identify you on a photo of a speed camera..... :-)
