California Motorcycle License Plates

The first statewide California motorcycle license plate was issued in 1914. These first several years of CA bike tags were manufactured out of porcelain and were shaped to fit on the fenders of the antique Bikes. Only the first years of California motorcycle tags are expensive and rare, making CA a moderate cost to put together a state run of cycle plates. However, California does have a year of manufacture or YOM law which extends to motorcycles, this greatly adds to the cost of California motorcycle tags if they are suitable for year of manufacture use. If a customer is interested in any of our motorcycle license plates for YOM use, it is up to them to see if the tags will clear with the department of motor vehicles.
