Conditional historic vehicle (HV) registration (or 'Club plates') is
available for VMCC club members' motorcycles made up to 31 December 1947. Historic plates are issued by the RTA and entitle the owner to use their
machine on authorised VMCC events and invitation events run by other
historic motorcycle clubs. Occasional test runs are permissible within
10km of the garaging address.
Historic Vehicle registration is much cheaper than normal vehicle
registration and reflects the limited vehicle usage allowed under the HV
scheme.

Custom Culture Class (USA)
In 2010 the AMCA established a special Custom Culture Class to recognise the importance of custom motorcycle in the 1960s and 1970s. To comply with the AMCA's 35-year rule for antique designation Custom Culture Class motorcycles must have an engine that was sold in a production motorcycle between 1960 and 1975.
Vintage & Antique (USA)
In AHRMA racing, vintage is defined as a motorcycle that was manufactured before model year 1975 for motocross, and 1974 for roadracing.
The term "Antique" is defined by the Antique Motorcycle Club of America as any motorcycle 35 years old or older. That is the only true official designation of any term in the States, but that gets clouded by the fact that many states allow vehicles as new as 20 years old to be defined as "antiques" or "vintage" or "historic" etc. for the purpose of that particular states licensing requirements.
