Agreed.
My 650cc - SV - 74 Hp - theoretical top speed approx 190 kph
A 600cc - R6 - 129 Hp - theoretical top speed approx 240 kph (?)
Yes - the SV is slightly heavier but surely horsepower commands more rider skill / respect and therefore is more dangerous in underskilled hands.
Even then, the whole thing is a load of bollocks. As has been said before, they should do the same analysis on car levies and split based on CC ratings of cars. Surely your old school big block V8 chevy is far more dangerous than your twin turbo Subaru legacy. What a load of crap.

I reckon more protest is definately called for. My 18 dollar a week tax cut is worthless after paying all the increased taxes. Not that I voted for the sheep shagger party!.. Anyway, I suggest licencing your bikes for as long as possible. I licenced mine till March 2011 by using the changing licence expiry date form (MR27, I think)
Forum whore
How about we all change our license expiry to the same date. Imagine the chaos of over 100,000 overdue registration payments at the same time. Imagine if every biker sent a letter stating why they're not paying. Now that would send a message!

Yes... but watch that the government don't take that choice away... otherwise... on the final day ALL bikers either log in to change or go to LTSA or PO... they won't be able to handle it and it gives us more time...arent we all gonna do that anyway, to the day before the new prices come into effect

Again great.. but who? KB'ers or ALL bike riders... to do this we need to be FAR more united and FAR more accepting of ideas... I believe we can do it though... all those regos.. and then don't pay them... wouldn't it be the ultimate protest!arent we all gonna do that anyway, to the day before the new prices come into effect

Totally agree... we know its crap... we know its unfair... but what we need is to be united... that we are far from.. however we could be... we have to put political belief's aside... attack POLICY and be smart... encompass scoot riders... all who ride... together as ONE UNITED group we can make the difference... factioned like now, even here on KB... no chance!

The guys in parliament and ACC arent stupid, if ACC makes a crazy proposal to jack up levies by 300% and parliament in turn say "no thats too high, we'll be nice and ONLY increase it by 50-60%".. they are using the old attention-diversion trick, where you're firstly hit by something as unthinkable as the 300% price hike, and are then more willing to accept any smaller price increase.
in short - perhaps the 50-60% increase was always their goal
good to see you guys arent putting up with this either
