About this plate
THE UNBANDED MOTORCYCLE PLATE. Same mark, same 2008 inversion, no blue band, and, uniquely in the Finnish system, the design offers a SECOND GEOMETRY: the 118 x 280 low single-row plate, which is where the hyphen reappears on an L-class mark.
Separators
no hyphen on the 200 x 165 two-row plate; hyphen REQUIRED on the 118 x 280 low plate (määräys § 3.3.2)

Legal basis and sources

  1. A 162/2021 § 16(1)(2): the nationality sign applies 'jollei jäljempänä toisin säädetä', so an unbanded L-class plate is lawful https://www.finlex.fi/api/media/statute/694140/mainPdf/main.pdf
  2. määräys § 3.3.2: 200 x 165 white or black, and the 118 x 280 low plate with a required hyphen https://www.finlex.fi/api/media/authority-regulation/536142/mainPdf/main.pdf
  3. 'Moottoripyörän valkopohjainen kilpi (200x165 mm)' and the two black variants https://www.traficom.fi/fi/autoilijat/ajoneuvon-rekisterointi/suomessa-kaytettavat-rekisterikilvet
