Another Greenslip rant....

Hey guys,

As many of you know a owned a 2009 naked 1250 a few years ago and ended up selling it to buy a dirtbike. 
I missed the big naked bike feel so last year i bought a Honda CB1300. Love the thing. 
What i didnt miss...and what i forgot about was the greenslip prices in NSW. 
Mine is due this week. I knew it was going to be high. but i wasnt quite prepared for the $1400 hit (inc rego). 
$1400 for a bike that gets ridden once a month. 

Cant justify paying that so looks like its back to a smaller bike for me 

Thats insane mate. I guess you have accident insurance on top of that?
Vic reg inc TAC insurance is about $580 for me (rural) for each bike. I think Vic has under and over 500cc for real bikes.
Full comp ins on the VFR is about $450 and $300 for the MV. Sounds like you need a Vic address. We do have extreme speed enforcement here so maybe you're pre paying a fine as well 

The Greenslip for the Bandit last year was $474.11. I can't see why a CB1300 should be so much more. 

My next one (due within a month) is $399. on the 1250 in NSW. That is the renewal.  I haven't shopped around yet.

Im only 26. So they sting me for that. 
I only have third party insurance. Full comp is another $1000, which would make it close to $2500...half the cost of the bike.

Thank F$#K I don't live in NSW!

That Greenslip system is nothing but a rort.

$474.11 for the Greenslip, that's just the 3rd party personal injury right??
Then you have to pay Rego as well?
Is rural cheaper than city?

I paid mine last week, city (highest) price, $479 for rego, 3rd party personal, stamp duty and a couple of other levies tacked on to screw a bit more out of us, if I lived rural it'd be cheaper again

We have Green slip (compulsary third party), AND rego, And then normal insurance. 

A 600cc bike for my age is only about $400 so thats why ill be making the swap...or a pre 1987 bike and put it on historic plates.

Hi Cameron, I use a broker through the MCCNSW, i pay around $600 for my 1250, worth the effort.

CTP is included in our overall registration cost and it doesn't make any difference how old you are.

We had a CTP shake up a few years back, they looked at where the payouts were actually going and changed a lot of premiums, my bike went from being dearer than my 6 cyl car to being cheaper than our 4 cyl car pretty much overnight.

BTW Cameron, any chance of catching up with us (myself, madmax, Baz +anyone else that decides to join us) while we're over for the Festival of Speed late March, pretty sure where we are staying isn't too far from you.

Yep, CTP (= Greenslip) was $474.11, then rego was $124.00. On top of that, comprehensive insurance, which is optional of course. People have their own preference for comprehensive insurance for many reasons. I'm using Youi for the Bandit. That's another $292.22.

Vicroads rego for 500cc and above, metro area = $658.60 which includes CTP, rego, stamp duty, the tax on a tax, and any other taxes they can come up with.

Maybe I should buy some kind of road lice, something under 60cc then it drops to $140.50

So, if I'm reading it right, Vic is more expensive (metro area) for a Bandit than I'm paying in NSW, ie $658.60 vs $598.11. But 2WA (country area) is getting it slightly cheaper at about $580. I don't know if NSW differentiates on the basis of rural vs metro.

Yeah I think from memory there is 3 price levels for area.
I'll have to look tomorrow as the Vicroads website is down for maintenance over night.

Yeah mate im keen for that. ill check out the other post.

My renewal (within a month) Rural NSW for the 1250 Bandit:

$399 for the CTP. - I haven't shopped around yet. 
$126 for the Rego

I don't know anything about prices different for people of different ages. I'm 65. My only concern in that direction is that I continue to get older.
