Personalised plate

Haha, that's brilliant. Not even a vestigial L plate now, either.

Nope! Was a nice moment when it fluttered away

A bike that suits the plate a bit more will be good. Will have to talk real nice to Dave when he gets home

When I still had my L plate a mate kept joking that I should get [OSER] as my plate to go with the big yellow L

(it's still available at plates.co.nz if anyone really wants it)

Nice plate, looks good!!

[Toaster]

Isn't it near $700 now?

[Grahameeboy]

Isn't it near $700 now?

Think so, when I got mine (2WHLS) it was about $400 so guess I have made a profit just based on current price........

I had a look a while back and was so gutted... some ridiculous price as I recall. Put me off getting one, but then "Toaster" didn't fit and you can't use the extra info on bike plates that you can on car plates.

Thats a great plate dude. Nice one! Bling given!

A standard 6 figure plate is "from" 399.00 and a premium 5 figure or less plate is "from" 699.00 (including bike plates). Which means for less figures, a smaller font and a smaller cheap nasty piece of pressed aluminium you pay nearly twice as much. Pack of rip off robbing cunts. They must be going down the tubes cause their market can only get smaller because the gummint would'nt let them produce 7 figure plates a few years back
Hope they go belly up robbing, bastards cornered the market and now rip everyone off

plates end up costing more than the vehicles they bolted to.

The $399 is if you want to keep your existing plate (which would have been issued when the vehicle was registered) but you want to add 'style' to it - have a silver fern, NZ, etc on the rest of the plate. Basically an overpriced way of appealing to the vanity of those who like their current plate but want it to look nicer!

The $498 price is for car plates only - what a rip-off! They must have realised that motorcyclists were a growing group of those wanting personalised plates so they make sure we pay a premium price for them. They have really gone up now, my first plate was $320, the second one $540 from memory (only two years ago) and now they want $699 - sorry, "from $699" for them.

And I note they now offer hire purchase for plates! That shows they are ridiculously overpriced now!

I must confess, I'd really have to want a plate badly to consider paying that much for one. When I sold the BMW CS I had that on the plate and someone balked at the $500 I was asking for it - which was cheaper than they could have bought it for at the time if it had been available. I ended up selling it with the bike.
