## About this plate

MOTORCYCLES: a square 165x165 mm plate carrying a letter and THREE digits. Modelled as one continuous series across the 2022 redesign because the plate size did not change; the character metrics and the RAL 5017 colour are dated design facts inside it. Contrast the car series, which IS split, because its front plate shrank.
