| Between 2001 and 2002, when the inspection - registration cycle was split up, motorcycles started getting 2 stickers on their plates. One sticker for registration, and one for inspection. Most used non-passenger stickers, but some got passenger stickers by mistake. As seen below, this scheme is not always adhered to. In mid-2000, Z9999 was reached, and the next series started at 1000A. |
