K2-K6:
I thought brand identity was "trademark" as opposed to copyrighted?

Oops ! I've just copied that, think it must be copyright protected :)
K2-K6:
This is interesting read too https://fabrikbrands.com/copyright-vs-trademark/ and whether the 500 Four on this badge is protected without having "Honda" also there, that may be more nuanced.
Oddjob:
Honda seem to strenuously protect the Honda logo, which as you say Nigel is a Trademark not copyrighted. Plus my daughter has just been made a partner in a large law firm so she can always defend me ;D ;D ;D
My badge isn't the same as the original badge, it's just a collection of letters and numbers arranged in a certain order using a similar font. It's also cloth not plastic, it's also worth noting that you cannot seem to find non genuine tank badges but there are plenty of side panels badge copies circulating and advertised on Ebay, you can also buy 500 aftermarket side panel badges sold by DS and we all know he doesn't fall foul of Hondas legal dept.
Roo I spotted this the other day when I was originally looking, not as good as mine should be and more expensive as well, plus only the F part is embroidered so when it gets washed the printing will fade over time.

You can buy a copyright from Honda under a licence ;)
K2-K6:
Sometimes you get people selling something unrelated, and they give you a "free" item as promotional give away.
Example, buy a surprisingly expensive bar of chocolate from Ken, and you will get a free badge of his choice thrown in ;)
