Just got a new plate for the bike, as it had not been properly registered. Bikes used to be very inexpensive to register. My new plate for year was $92.50! Granted that is for "new" plates (not a transfer). But....

The good news is that I got a memo from the DMV stating that due to budget problems that all DMV plates and fees will be going up on 4/1! Good thing I snuck it in.

Just a rant.

Our yearly registration went from 14 dollars to 42.50. Per bike. Per year.

I guess hookers, blow and hotel rooms cost a lot of money. Rolling Eyes

Guess it depends on if your getting your share or not of the party favors as to how the costs compare.

I hear that chit IS expensive though.

Our yearly registration fee is $429.10, although that does include a Compusory 3rd Party insurance of $292. So I wouldn't complain too loud up there!!

The CTP is actually more expensive than my Comprehensive insurance for me and the bike!! Go figure! Evil or Very Mad

Having grown up in Queens I know the NYS DMV- those offices make the bar scene in Star Wars look calm.

Up here in the middle of nowhere I just give all my paperwork and a signed, blank check to the Town Clerk and in about 5 minutes she gives me back my reg with a receipt for what it cost. Done. And cheap.

I know it sounds petty, but like OTG said, in NY the renewals went from $19 to $62.50 (with the vanity plate) Thats a pretty good jump!

Sounds like they pay dearly in OZ....

Yep. In South Australia, 12 month rego for my K1100 is a total of $456, comprising:

Registration $33.00
Compulsory Third Party Insurance Premium $333.00
Stamp Duty on Insurance $60.00 (a tax)
GST Component of CTP Insurance $27.27 (another tax)
Emergency Services Levy $24.00 (my contribution in case someone needs an ambulance or a fire engine)
Administration $6.00 (to cover the cost of processing my rego)

My Jeep, OTOH is $633 for 12 months

Registration $99.00
Compulsory Third Party Insurance Premium $444.00
Stamp Duty on Insurance $60.00 (a tax)
GST Component of CTP Insurance $36.36 (another tax)
Emergency Services Levy $24.00 (my contribution in case someone needs an ambulance or a fire engine)
Administration $6.00 (to cover the cost of processing my rego)

Car rego here is based on the number of cylinders only - the Jeep is a 4 cyl diesel.

Once upon a time, a large motorcycle >250 cc used to cost a lot more than a car; things seem to have changed a bit.

I did not include insurance on mine, even though it is required I consider it second. I pay $150 a year for two bikes.

Trailers are just as bad. Try 100.00 per yr for a 16ft enclosed. Mad
