Yes, but the plate must be in a horizontal (side-ways) position. I only know this because I got pulled over for having my plate mounted in a vertical position. And I had no turn signals - but that's a whole other story!!

∙ 9y agoThe statute requires the plate to be attached to the rear of the motorcycle. You may still have a side mounted plate so long as it is attached toward the rear and clearly visible from the rear of the motorcycle.

It clearly states that it is legal to mount your plate vertically.
LICENSE PLATE* Must be illuminated and visible for 50 feet Must be "conspicuously displayed at the rear of the motorcycle", Securely Attached, not swinging. Must be securely mounted between 12 - 48 inches from the ground (when reasonable) Must be clean and easily readable with no plastic or synthetic covering, may be mounted vertically.

∙ 12y agoI cannot say whether it is legal or not...
But I have had several encounters, unfortunately, with the Cincinnati police.
They have never said anything about it.
The worst that can happen..
Is a ticket for improper equipment.
I see WAY too many people out there with them mounted sideways to worry.
Good luck

As of October 1, 2008, vertical mounted license plates are illegal. The fine for this is $1,000. Example: October 17, 2008 I learned of this new law, I quickly zip tied my vertical plate in a horizontal position. 30 minutes later on my way to the Iron Horse in Ormond, 2 bikes were pulled over side by side with vertical plates. The idea here is that once you are pulled for this "ridiculous" violation, officers have probable cause to examine for alcohol or other potential violations. Please be aware and take this seriously.
