Whats in a Number (Plate)

Are those on the DVLA only for purchase or is there an area where you could pick your own 08 registration to put on the bike?

The dealer gets an allocation, sometimes they let you look through the list and choose something you fancy, but the good ones are always reserved by DVLA for sale / auction.
I bought a car the other month, they would not even let me see their allocation, told me this has stopped, don't know if true. ironically, I got one with my initials!

Aye, as you already decided, wait :P

On the derailed theme, I have held a dealer to ransom, cash in hand, bike PDI'd, now let me see the list of numbers or i'm off home!

Waiting was definitely the best idea - but I know you have already decided that

I got to choose from about 12 reg numbers when I bought my bike - I chose the one with KLE on the end just to annoy the Kawasaki dealer as he had thought about putting it on a KLE500

Yep, when I bought my R6, someone had just snagged GU56 YZF and stuck it on a Honda CB1300S
