I have just paid my yearly rego for my D2 $894.85, How does that compare to the other states?

$746.90. Got it in my hand now.

I have a ZZR1100- cost $860 and something a year in the NT.
Apparently a prang on the Z is far worse than if I were on a 250 or smaller and...
the Z is heavier on the road!!
According to the NT MVR

In Metro Melb, anything over 500cc is $668.60. 125 up to 500 is $506.90.

Not 100% sure, i was looking at it last night as i want to register my dirtbike, on the nsw website it says upto 100ml, between 101ml and 300ml, 300ml and over.
Mine is 510cc so from the rego calculator its $217 plus ctp, which i would guess at a couple of hundred more. In vic i had rec reg which was $77.

To much information I think John.

rego is a tax on ownership
if you have 3 cars, you pay 3 lots of ctp.
but you can only drive 1 car at a time.
ctp should be on the licence not the car.
more people drive unregistered cars compared to driving without a licence.
so more people would be covered if the ctp was on the licence.

but as usual the govt see's it as free money.

I just eyed this car it is one sweet 4 door
I have just been discussing a few options to the op and if the option from the Previous owner does not work out , I think he now has a couple fairly simple solution `s that will work

There was a proposal a couple of decades ago to put a levy on fuel to cover CTP. Or was it rego? Can't remember, but the idea was that user pays. As usual, the States couldn't agree, and of course it would be 'unfair" for interstate travellers to pay a levy for something they have already paid for, so...

In the US ( at least in some states ), even TPP is on the driver, not the car.
