Can a newly purchased motorcycle be ridden on the road without a license plate?

No. Riding a motorcycle without a license will result in a fine imposed by the traffic management department of the public security authority, and may also lead to detention for up to 15 days. Below are the specific details regarding the relevant content: License Plate Registration: A new vehicle must be registered within one month from the date of invoice issuance. It is not permitted to drive without a license plate, but you can apply for a temporary license plate. To register the license plate, you need to visit the vehicle management office with the new vehicle's certificate of conformity, invoice, and the new vehicle itself. Vehicle purchase tax must be paid during the registration process. Procedures: When applying for a pass, the vehicle must be brought to the application site for inspection by the staff. You must carry the original and duplicate of the driver's license, the original and duplicate of the vehicle license or the moped license, the driving permit, and the owner's resident ID card. Copies of these documents must be submitted for verification. The vehicle license of two-wheeled motorcycles and light motorcycles must have the inspection approval seal record from the vehicle management authority, which will be checked against the archives by the staff when applying for the pass.
Last year, I bought a new motorcycle and was so excited that I couldn't wait to ride it immediately. Fortunately, a friend reminded me in time that riding without a license plate is absolutely not allowed. He told me about the time he was almost caught, fined 500 yuan, and had his bike impounded for a week, which delayed his work. After buying a new vehicle, you must first go to the vehicle management office to apply for a temporary or official license plate. Bring the purchase invoice, ID card, and certificate of conformity. Generally, a temporary plate is valid for 15 days, which is enough time to complete the formalities. Riding without a license plate is too dangerous, and if an accident occurs without insurance, you will be fully responsible. Now, I always advise people around me to hold off on riding after buying a new vehicle and not to risk their wallets and trouble due to momentary impulse. Safe driving is what truly matters.
