phpaul Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm used to owning and paying the bills on 30+ year old machines, the FJ is the first new bike I've owned since the 80's. Just went down and re-registered it (In Maine, all motorcycles, regardless of when they are purchased, are registered in March.) $207.58 :'( I'm used to more like $40 on my old beaters, gave me quite a start when she told me the new total! Worth it tho, definitely worth it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadinfast Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 In central NY state we register them all in March too. My fj09 and 85 magna were 17.50 apiece. They must finagle it out of me in some way I'm not familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member britelitebob Posted March 6, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 6, 2017 Damn, I just renewed 3 cars here in Florida today for a total cost of $107.00 That's not the Maine that I remember but then all states have their sneaky ways to get your money.

phpaul Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 The majority of that is "excise tax" aka property tax on vehicles, goes directly into town coffers. Only about $40 of that is registration fees. It does go down as the vehicle gets older, not that that's much comfort... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member superfist Posted March 15, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 15, 2017 In GA we pay the taxes up front as an ad valorem sales tax of 6.5% of the vehicle value according to the state. A brand new FJ-09 is just under $700.00 I think. After that it's $25 per year to renew plates, for as long as you own it. If you purchase a used motorcycle, you pay the ad valorem sales tax when you register & title the motorcycle at the used vehicle value rate.

empire00 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Cars in IL are $101 to $114. Bikes are $41. I am pretty sure they just throw a dart at the board with what they charge for trailers here. All of my fees are due within 60 days of one another it is a very painful time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVEBRAD Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Wow, I'm seeing some pretty hefty registration fees. $15 per year here in Delaware. Brad Selbyville, DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a 6 cylinder car it's $895.90 For a V8 it's $1086.10 ...is that one time? We (Ontario) pay ~$120/yr for a car, and ~$50/yr for a bike. There are other small admin costs when moving plates or getting a new vehicle, but those are one time. Per year, a large part of the cost is "Compulsory Third Party" Insurance. This covers people injured in traffic crashes, no cover for vehicles or property, you choose to pay that separately, or not, just people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
