licencse is about $30usd pre bike its the same for a moped or a BOSS HOSS with a V8 engine
mot or inspection is about $13 usd per bike( its a joke nothing like a uk mot
personal property $17usd covers all my bikes this one is cheap here compaired to other locations
insurance rt125 $250 deductable $245.16usd a year
saxon tour 228.96usd but only libility if i drop it i fix it
so over all about $600usd in 2 bikes per year and between the 2 i do
5000 to 6500 a year mileage
600.00 USD
United States Dollars = 340.077 GBP United Kingdom Pounds
this is equal to being taxed about 2 weeks take to the bank pay

mine is $55.00 year for tabs, $550 year for full coverage insurance,
no vehicle inspections , only non M/C smog inspection every 2 years.
3 years ago a group lobbied and got passed a $30 flat rate for all vehice tabs, used to be based on value of vehicle, so if yo could afford a $100,000 car, then you paid alot for tabs. worked pretty well. after the state lost soo much of their revenue, they started adding transit taxes, road taxes, ect....
now everything I own cost me MORE than before!!! damn rich people always leave us working class to pay for everything...

so a lot of the states don't have official vehicle inspections then 
over here we have the dreaded MOT (£23) once yearly for vehicles over 3 years old, and also have to pay road tax yearly (£60 a year for the MZ)
and of course insurance (full cover for me is £150 a year)
£233 for the year, not bad really. . .

I pay £329 sterling per year for fully comprehensive insurance (48 years old, clean licence, living in London, bike garaged). Where do you get your insurance - maybe I should shop with them... Bike is brand new Baghira, declared value £4500 sterling.
