About this plate
HISTORIC MOTORCYCLE, "O" index with an "M" letter group, from 01-01-2021. Note that art. 12 § 3 keys eligibility to art. 2 § 2, 1° of the arrete royal of 10 October 1974 on the technical conditions for mopeds and motorcycles, NOT to the thirty-year test that art. 4 § 2 now uses for cars, so the two O series do not share a criterion.
Separators
Only the hyphen after the index is printed.
