Hey peeps,
Thinking about moving to Oz for a bit and just wondering about the cost of insurance/WOF/rego that sort of thing for bikes.

anyone got any figures to hand?

i expect that changes from state to state, cant remember exactly how much but I know it was considerably dearer than here in queensland
EDIT:try looking up the transport department in what ever state it is

my boss just put his z1000 on the road. it cost him 600 for his compulsory third party, thats the green slip, the pink slip(wof) was 35 and the rego was 150ish.
The CTP varys depending on cc type of bike and age of rider. I have a ZX9r and its going to cost me about 1000 to do mine all up. but she is going in a crate and will be in NZ by xmas.

I live in W.A. Rego for my bike is $213.70 for 12 months. Insurance is $275 per year fully comprehensive (I'm an old fart)

You've got to be kidding me? With the proposed changes I'm now looking at close to $2,000NZ per year to keep my Harley road-legal.

Takes the f'kin' piss.

Third party in Oz is for property damage or ACC equivalent (Medicare or something)?

NOT property damage. You still need insurance for that.
