#FFFFFF - About this plate
- VICTORIAN MOTORCYCLE GENERAL ISSUE, AND THE DATE IS THE AGENCY'S: the motorcycle table's 2011 row is the first "1A 1AA"-shaped entry and 2010 is the last two-letter one ("JA 000"), so the motorcycle line changed over TWO YEARS BEFORE the car line did (2011 vs 08/2013). That asymmetry is the point of modelling motorcycles as their own series rather than as a size variant: in Victoria they are a separate allocation stream with a separate grammar and a separate changeover date, and a parser that treats a motorcycle plate as a short car plate will mis-date it by two years.
