Japan's National Police Agency will launch a preferred-number license plate system for motorcycles, with applications opening October 19. Bikes over 125cc can choose a 4-digit number, popular combinations like 777 and 888 go to a weekly lottery, and the fee is expected to run about 2,500 to 3,000 yen depending on the region.

Just hearing 'preferred number' gets my heart rate up. Picking your own 4 digits is self-expression that never shows up on a spec sheet. 777 and 888 apparently go into a lottery, but I'm seriously considering something tied to displacement numbers. October 19 — can't forget to check that date.

I'd rather see anti-theft measures prioritized before vanity plates.

So under-125cc bikes aren't eligible for this, right?

Yep, the 125cc class gets left out again. Always the neglected one.

3000 yen fee is honestly fine, car plates cost way more than that.

Weekly lottery for 777/888 sounds cool but the odds are gonna be brutal.

Even a lottery is exciting, bikes finally get the same treatment as cars.
