Minnesota is a very high tax state, but we get a great rate on motorcycle licences tabs. It cost me a whopping $17 last week to renew my plates.

I switched insurance last year, from Progressive to Markel. A top of the line policy was less than $500. Another benefit we have in Minnesota is that "no fault" insurance laws do not apply to cycles. If the other person causes the accident, they have to pay. That lowers our rate tremendously.

This is for Quebec only, I don't know about the other provinces.
Like I said, the life insurance is built-in the renewal and charge by the province. Here we pay fricken to much for everything...

Just recently renewed mine and it was $48 for a 2 year tag. Insurance isn't required for bikes but I pay $412 a year for full coverage.

I live in Quebec and up here we have to pay for life insurance so the pricing goes like this:

- $86.74 for the licence renewal;
- $480.39 for insurance;
- $4.35 for admin

for a total of $571.48 for about 8 months of riding.
My registration ( plate renewal) here in NJ for my 2011 FXDC is $65.00. Seems pretty high for a bike, but that's NJ for you!

We obviously don't live right in Canada.....

I pay annual license fee for the bike of $140 (soon to be $160) and my insurance for full coverage is a shade over $1400.

And that's a clean driving record for over 40 years....all discounts, etc etc....

Here on Maui in Hawaii my Motorcycle Plate and Registration renewal is a total of $119.56. And it is partially based on vehicle weight. The Break down of all the fees would be:

Our State Fee is: $45.00
Our county Fee is: $43.00
County Weight Tax is: $16.23
State Weight Tax is: $10.33
Maui County Beau Fee is $5.00


This does not include mandatory Insurance, you can not get a vehicle plated or registered without a valid insurance card. I have excellent Insurance with Progressive through Harley-Davidson. My Premium is only $108.00 per Year which I consider a real bargain.

Therefore my actual cost to ride; less fuel and maintenance, food and drink, would be cost of my registration and insurance, a total of: $227.56
By the way, I forgot but there is an annual mandatory vehicle Safety Inspection which is an additional Fee of $20.00 which would make my total $247.56 for my 2009 H-D Sportster XL883L.
