Amazing how the seller has hidden the registration of his bike in the photos.

I wish I had IT skills at that level...

NK04 something, it's also lost a couple of gears

Someone should ask him what the reg number is so that they can check the MOT history.

What a wast of effort, I've never understood doing this.

at the risk of stating the bleedingly obvious - it's so someone else can't stumble across the plate, copy it, put it on their vehicle and then use said vehicle for nefarious means, causing you all sorts of grief as you get all the nip mail through the post

(think it's quite an effective way of obscuring the plate without fking about with photoshop myself)

But your plates are visible to the world anyway...

You know what they say about bikers with big hands...?

We know that, but lots of criminals are unaware of this and only clone plates they find on the net. Some aren't even aware bikes exist outside of photos.

Why wouldn’t you just drape a cloth over it?

They are...but it's far easier to search for the same make/model/colour online than to wait until you spot one.

It's not something that I'd be concerned about, and rather less so for a "for sale" but it still would be a minor risk.

I obscure mine not because of that but so that there isn't any direct link between my physical presence and my online one.
