Is the license plate only mounted at the rear for motorcycles?

Motorcycle license plates cannot be installed only at the rear without a front plate. Here are relevant regulations concerning motorcycle license plates: 1. Article 103: Those who obtain motor vehicle registration or driving permits through fraudulent means such as deception or bribery shall have their motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, or motor vehicle driving permits confiscated, and their motor vehicle registration or driving permits revoked; the applicants shall be prohibited from applying for motor vehicle registration or driving permits for 3 years. 2. Article 37: Forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, insurance marks, or driving permits, or the use of such forged or altered documents, shall be confiscated and destroyed after legal penalties are imposed.
I've been riding motorcycles for over a decade, and all my bikes only had a rear license plate. This is common practice because motorcycles are compact with no proper mounting space in front. Even if installed, front plates may obstruct windshields or get easily stolen. Occasionally you see modified bikes with front plates, but those are illegal modifications that'll get you fined. Having just the rear plate ensures clear camera recognition while being safer and more convenient. Remember to regularly check if the plate is securely fastened - loose plates affect identification and riding experience, so get them fixed promptly.
