Decoding Vietnam’s Big Bike License Plates

“Nice bike, nice plate, nice road” is a common saying among motorcycle enthusiasts, especially those who ride big bikes. Have you ever wondered about the meaning behind Vietnam’s motorcycle license plates? Is there a secret code hidden within those numbers and letters?

Understanding Vietnam’s Big Bike License Plates

Distinguishing big bike license plates isn’t just about categorization. It reflects several factors:

• Vehicle Type: Big bikes (PKL – Phân khối lớn) are often differentiated from regular motorcycles with unique license plates, usually starting with the digits “59”.
• Registration Area: License plates often indicate where the bike was registered. For example, “59-D1” usually signifies registration in Ho Chi Minh City.
• Year of Manufacture: In some cases, license plates might hint at the bike’s production year, though this isn’t universally applicable.
• Owner Information: Legally, each big bike receives a unique license plate, permanently linked to its owner.

Deciphering the Code: Vietnam’s Big Bike License Plates

According to Professor Michael Jones in his book “Motorcycles: A Comprehensive Guide”: “Each country has its own system for distinguishing motorcycle license plates. In Vietnam, big bike plates typically begin with ’59’, followed by a letter and two final digits. The letter often represents the first letter of the province or city where the bike is registered.”
