There was one before that, too. Must have been mid 70s , I remember hundreds of bikes lined up along Queen St outside the town hall. Don't think there was any ride on Wellington then though

Seems like every 16 years or so some collective insanity besets the ACC

I think that these fees are for new registrations, not renewals...

its funny I havn't heard this before but acording to the NZ transport agency web site
Common registration fees - from 1 July 2009

MR2A/2B Registration of motor vehicle (issued with standard plates) 6 months 12 months
Passenger car/van
Private passenger Petrol driven - 1301-2600 cc 267.91 388.06
Petrol driven - 2601-4000 cc 298.29 418.44
Non-petrol driven - 1301-2600 cc 330.15 512.52
Non-petrol driven - 2601-4000 cc 360.53 542.90
so this means the higher cc car is going to pay more too?

Nope.

They are for registrations. Not vehicle licences.

No, the original poster is correct... don't recall the figures involved, actually I think it was when they first introduced the differential rate for bikes. I remember being in the protest ride through Wellington to Parliament. I think they ignored us (ie that was when the different rate for bike was first established.)
