This law came into force because criminals used motorcycles to comit crime on the road. Aparently it worked, not only that, it seems the riders felt safer as it was clear that he was the owner.
I also hear that foreigners with out of country plate didn't have to have the sticker. I have been riding my motorcycle bought and registered in Colombia the past 3 winters and I never bother about the sticker.
I'm sure you will enjoy riding in Colombia, the landscape is awsome, and the Colombians are very friendly and very helpful
cheers
