Rego cost (not a complaint thread!)

[Redline_8749]

Not sure if this is the correct section for this thread, if not can a mod please move it?

I'm looking at purchasing a new bike soon, and am looking into insurance, rego cost etc.

Now looking at this table http://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicle/registration-licensing/fees.html

The licensing fees for 61-600cc is cheaper than 601cc and over, so looking at something like a ZX6R, I would pay the same rego as a ZX10R; as the ZX6R is 636cc correct?

Can someone with a ZX6 please confirm?

Yes, if you had the 636 you would be paying the same as if you had a ZX10R.

[Coldrider]

Some model years of the ZX6r are 600 cc, some are 636cc., but yes, with a 636 you pay.

[Redline_8749]

Yes the ZX6RR is 599cc, so that would break into 61-601cc
Looks like if I'm looking at ZX6Rs I might as well check out ZX10Rs also.

Kinda sucks but oh well.

[Coldrider]

It's pointless letting a couple of hundred bucks per year getting in the way of what you actually want to ride.

Only a few years had the ZX6R as a 636. It's back to a 599 now I believe.

The 2007-2010 ZX6-R's were 599 cc. What year model were you looking at ... ???

The difference in rego costs is only a small fraction of the annual cost of running a bike.

[darkwolf]

I have a 636 ZX6R and yes the rego (licence - in case SmokeU is lurking around) is a bit more. If this is enough of a reason to put you off buying the bike, then that's a shame, you're missing out on a hell of a bike.

The other option, is try find one that has a few extra months rego on it. Mine had 9 months still on it :) so my rego didn't cost any more than my VTR250 registration (which was due a week later).

[rastuscat]

Bite the bullet. Ride what you are passionate about, and just accept the rego as the cost of your passion.

I've compromised at times, on vehicles to save money, and have found that I keep them for shorter periods, and dislike them when I have them. All coz I should have bought the better one to start with.

Just my words of advice.

Unless you are parking your bike where wardens can catch you, I wouldn't bother having a Rego or Warrant.

Think of the money you could save...especially with multiple bikes.... like me.

I oppose the exorbitant ACC levies, esp when you have 2+ bikes.
You can only ride one at a time.

I would be more than happy with an equitable system where user pays.

eg. in my petrol costs.


Not even you can disagree with that eh Putty-tat ?

Meanwhile, I am protesting by withholding my easily earned cash.

....not whingeing like a male girl on KB.....and doing NOTHING 1

[caseye]

Not paying a rego and NOT riding is one thing.
To NOT pay and ride and expect to be covered or worse cynically ride knowing you will be if you are involved in an accident is plain outright theft.
So FUCK OFF THIEF!
Did i say that out aloud??"?
Oh well.

[Madness]

Meanwhile, I am protesting by withholding my easily earned cash.

Wrong. You are bludging like a fucking leech off of the rest of us who pay our dues, irrespective of wether or not we approve of the system.

[Berg]

with any luck the current review on WOFs and rego may be heading somewhere towards the right direction. I have heard a wee rumour that rego may??? end up added to fuel rather than as currently a seperate fee. If charged on fuel the government stand to loose on one hand with owners paying multiple regos possibly paying less but they make it up with fuel used by other, often dangerous, fuel powered devices not currently subject to rego.
I can see sence in it

If you are pinged just a few times it will cost you more than had you paid and been compliant - Like most of us do.

I wouldn't whinge either ... if I didn't pay rego ...

I'm pretty sure Tony has paid his rego. He's just trolling, or at least he was before he got outed as being a trans-poster. Where have you gone TINA Tony?

A woman after my own heart.

Fight the good fight.

My bike's license has been on hold for 12 of the last eighteen months.I have been stopped by cops twice no rego related infringements,told once to get it licensed.

Thanks Dr Smith (cunt) you have saved me hundreds of dollars. LOL

Oh, so sorry, I thought I was doing something positive and that people like you would have been glad of a hand, obviously I was wrong.
Tell me you're not paying your rego too, go on please, big brave road worrier that you are.

most people i know have their regos on hold.

Thanks for your comment.

as i have not paid rego for many years l did not know how much l was actually 'saving.



l have just looked it up.
approx....

400 cc...... $450
650cc...... $600
car...... $430

+ 6x WOFs.......$250

adds up to approx $1700 per annum x (eg) 5years = $8500

+++ I have Never had motor bike insurance.....so another $1000 per annum saving per bike ???...dunno how much it costs...

that's a healthy fine budget.....if you pay them, that is...

since one reason i bike is to have the ability to park where i may; i need to pay. with the wof and multiple vehicles - multiple times a year I get rolled for cash.

it's absurd how much it costs nowadays. i don't know how kids get started in nz with the outlay.

oh, well they probably steal 650's and ride them illegally... ah!

If you had scrolled further down the page, you'll note you have roughly quoted the costs involved in vehicle registration, not licensing.

I don't want to cover costs of those that don't for whatever reason contribute to current system.

The current review in progress has this one chance to make a real difference to a great many New Zealanders, I am sad to say I only expect them to fuck it up.

Because they leach off the rest of us who pay our fees.

If everyone did it, just wait and see what law changes would come in and I hope they do so it would be a fairer system for all and possibly cheaper for the one's currently being legal.

[mylodon]

did that big increase come into play because people were skimping their license/regos/whatever? is that the exact reason?

if it is, when it happens again will it increase by the same percentage?

The difference in rego costs is only a small fraction of the annual cost of running a bike.

But isn't the cost of running a bigger bike more than the cost of running a smaller bike? Parts? Tyres?

Glad you are so proud of being a sponger.... I get a little fed up with this attitude of "protest", you are not protesting you are just not paying your way in society. I certainly do not like the current system, it is day light robbery, I feel the Government is just an organised crime syndicate at times... however I do not feel the need to sink to the same low snake in the grass level they have stooped to... Maybe one law they could pass is if an Ambo attends an accident and the vehicle does not have a current Rego (and so ACC levy paid) that they bugger off and leave you where you fell... just saying

[mylodon]

Well tell ya what folks, I donate my stolen 650cc's license fees to whoever out there that needs moral elbowroom to save some cash. I just registered the thing before it was stolen so you get nearly a YEAR -- till July 2013

This is what I get back from the transport folk:

'I can confirm that when a vehicle is stolen, the vehicle can not be cancelled off the Motor Vehicle Register for reasons such as recovery and Police Investigation for example.

There are no provisions to issue refunds on stolen vehicles. The licence is attached to the vehicle not the person.'


enjoy... I'm not sure another way around this...

enjoy... I'm not sure another way around this...As the owner can you not de-register it, and claim the refund.
You would have to weigh up the option of ever seeing it again.

[mylodon]

that is what i asked when i got the above reply.

perhaps i would have to contact the police, tell them that the bike was not stolen, and then unregister it.

still seems fishy though... isn't there a kind of no-operation registration you can do where you are allowed to own it but not drive it? i.e. no acc levy then...?

I'm not going to get into the rego argument. However, "saving" buy not having 3rd party insurance is not worth the risk. What you gonna do if you write off someone else's vehicle? Have a spare $150K lying around?

You should enquire further up the ladder within LTSA. One of their staff is a KB member and she knows jack shit about her own job.

What happens if the bike is not recovered in 12 months, do you have to put it on hold or pay further rego?
I think you need to get to the right person.

How many $150k vehicles have you seen on the road?

With all the money you've pissed away into insurance over the years you could have put it into a separate bank account and covered yourself.
