New ACC levies from 1st July

[Gremlin]

My two over 650s will be liable for $1066 per year. assuming both get 12 month registration. (not gonna happen)

Worth noting this band is moving. Was (is) 651cc+ for the top band. Will become 751cc+.

I've been playing the rego hold game for a long time (3x bikes 900-1200cc), so won't be able to get any gains there...

[BMWST?]

are the people renewing and being overcharged for their rego trying to renew regos that expire after july 1?

I'll try at the weekend... My rego has expired, so won't be an issue for me

Worked OK for me, I pay the old rate. I expect people don't realise that your current rego must expire before 1 July.

Thought I might sneak in a Ride Forever course before 1 July but the cash back scheme ended last year.

Not noticing any outrage (or even calm discussion) here on the new ACC levies to be applied from 1 July.

First I heard about it was just now reading this thread.

As always, we are fucked. Petitions do nothing apart from make you feel like you have contributed. A protest ride does nothing but piss off other road users and the inevitable crash simply proves the point.

I have never liked your ACC system. I have never made a motorcycle claim in the 30 years I have been riding in NZ and there is zero acknowledgement of that. As an experienced and evidently safe rider I don't believe that I should pay more for cover than the acne riddled 18 year old down the street with his lowered doof doof GTR just because some twat got wiped out lane splitting on the Auckland motorway or some helmetless dickhead looped his unregistered dirtbike on the way home from the pub.

My riding habits have changed recently, I no longer do a daily commute but do a relatively big trip every couple of weeks and I don't park where any wardens are going to be checking the rego label. I am starting to think I might put it on hold when it comes round to renewal time and ride it anyway.

What's the fine for that?

It's like they are out to get my money. I had a 675 just a tickle to big. Now I have a 765. How close to the line?

Not that it's a competition, but my '750' TransAlp is 755cc.

My KLR is a 685 but I'n not going to tell them that

$200 and 20 points. Another $200 if no WoF. Expect to see this adjusted upward and redefined as tax evasion

I've put my bike on hold over winter for years. I've never been stopped for a WoF / rego / licence check, one breath test though! I'm careful on main roads with my speed. I will keep the rego current this winter as I expect the cops will be on the lookout.

Remember, doing a Ride Forever gold every 2 years gives you a 25% discount on all your bikes, and you might learn something.

But the system sucks. I'd like a second bike but even a 450 is just too expensive.

Don't need 20 demerits, perhaps not the best time to buy a Hayabusa.

Have never wanted to play the MSAC/Rideforever bollocks game, I have done perfectly fine up to now without a hi-viz and top box. Lead story on the website is that it is Motorcycle Awareness Month this September 2025. Glad they are using my hard earned to keep up to date.

i approached them about the habit in wellington which i see has spread to lower hutt of painting over old road markings, not their job, suggested i contact the council. Ride Foever only have people to see whther the money they are spending is helping with stats, they dont do shot for us at all, and they still rape $30 odd bucks from each rego to go where?

Issue is cameras will pick up and compare to database so tickets for those with no rego.

Next step is 3D print a plate of a bike in carpark with rego.

Not my bag but obvious.

At the moment, there are restrictions on what can be done with ANPR. Not sure of the details, but others here may know.
