Alrighty its time to register my 2005 GS500 again. I'm 26 and have a full no claim bonus.
NSW Rego: $97
NRMA Compulsory Third Party Personal Injury Insurance: $502.08
Allianz Compulsory Third Party Personal Injury Insurance: $407.00
Both insurances offer some basic level of "Rider at Fault Cover" as well.
Both of these insurances include the new levy to cover Children Involved in Accidents.
Once I add full comprehensive insurance (due in 3 months time) it will cost me over $1000!!!!
I thought bikes were meant to be cheap :mad:
NSW residents can use the RTA's GreenSlip calculator to find the best price Greenslips.

Try western QBE. When I did my rego November I paid $400 total. The killer is the green slip.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I have the advantage of being an old fart (being over 30 ) :laugh:
QBE $271 No green slip needed in SA. :)
I have the advantage of being ancient (over 40 :cry: )
Standard excess $350
Inexperienced rider excess $250 Got my learners in Feb & licence in June.
I paid for CTP/Rego back in July. $96 for rego (or there abouts), and $624 for CTP (looks like $675 next time round) :mad: Under 25 in Sydney metro is the killer :2guns: They need to bring in single seat rego/ctp like they do in Qld.

Holy cow!
Oh and QBE Quoted me $622
Get a fake ID ... heheh
Sorry to laugh - I lived the life of excess once and drove around a Toyota Surf - would cost me about $1500 to register and $3200 comp insurance under 25, and I saved about $500/year after that. True I'm now over 30, but the GS seems a deadset bargain to me!
Be patient young ones, and stay upright so you CAN enjoy that cheap(er) insurance.
Mine comes up in Nov,
$340.85 CTP,(GIO this is the cheapest so far.) 60% No Claims, Rating 1 for life.
$350.95, (Comprehensive ins with Swann, This was last years amount, havnt had a new quote from them as yet)
$99.00 Rego (im also over 40)
Can anyone go cheaper in NSW (Australias Taxation State!)

I had a bloke tell me today in the SuperCheap Auto carpark about this new Motorbike insurer:
http://www.insuremyride.com.au
They seem to have good prices for comprehensive insurance and an online quote facility.
They don't do CTP Green Slips atm :(
My rego is due in November as well, my greenslip is $320 through QBE.
I am that 'bloke". Good to talk with you. Regarding insurances. My CTP is with NRMA and cost $388.00. They are not the cheapest. However unlike most CTP's which only cover other peoples (third parties) personal injuries, the NRMA do offer some cover (limited) for the actual policy holders injuries as well. My comprehensive cover with "Insure My Ride is $254.00 per year for my 2003 GS500.
Also if you run a car as well then try www.budgetdirect.com.au I saved over $200.00 on comprehensive cover for my 2004 Astra. It is now $370.00 per year.

So I guess you remembered your username :laugh:
LOL whats with all the November rego's thats the same as mine, mines due on the 5th Nov. I hope to have all my mods done before then or I'll be screwed for the snowy ride because I will need to do some fine tune riding before I go but I hope to have all the work done this weekend.
But my rego costs will be about the same as Old mans being well over 30 but not quite 40 :thumb: :cheers:
My rego is $159, $60 of that is for my number plate.
Reg & CTP for both the GS & SV
GS SV
Reg. $31 $31
Admin Fee. $6 $6
Emerg. Service Levy. $24 $24
S/Duty On Ins Policy. $60 $60
CTP Ins Prem ex GTS. $210.24 $263.49
GST on CTP Ins Prem. $18.76 $23.51
Total $350 $408
Thieving mongrels. :mad:
Just noticed that both bikes are classed as SOLO, but i dont think it makes a difference downhere.
Comp. Insurance was $197 on the GS & $443 on the SV (8000km per year limit for the SV)
My EH is only $115 for 1 year or $333 for three years. (Club rego).
Then there's the commodore...ohh & the trailer... stuff it...i'm moving to Perth.

Jeez!! I think I won't say too much in case the pollies here in the West take notice of what's happening over there.
Just paid mine for the 1000. Came to $210.60
License $53.00
Insurance $121.45
Stamp duty $13.35
Recording fee $10.65
GST $12.15
No such thing as solo rates here in WA either.
My car (a Suzuki GV of course) cost $415.95 to register and insure.
This seems about right as far as I'm concerned. A bike should be half that of a car.

There drawing up a petition re. the cost of rego. Will link it once it's up.
Seriously why do us New South Welshman get stung with so many state taxes, stamp duties, petrol excises and tolls!
When I get a green slip, why do I have to pay as much for my GS500F as my cuz does with his 1000cc ZX-10R!!!
Why do we pay the full car price to use toll ways?
Seriously they need to piss off state governments. Local and Federal is enough!!!
Quote from: s4gs
Comp. Insurance was $197 on the GS
bloody hell that ain't bad, mind if I ask who you had that through? mine is $28 a month thru swann for the gs
Galahs..... we don't have toll ways here in SA :thumb: .... but I agree with you about all the other bloody charges and what not... :2guns:

Western QBE. Last year was about $270. When this one came in, i didn't question it, just payed it. Being 45 prob. helps but..
Galahs, read more about rego cost here.

Just got my greenslip renewal from Allianz.
$405
:cry:
If I had a:
CBR250RR it would be $147
if I had a GSXR-1000 it would be.... $405 !!!!
What a crock of shaZam!! I have to pay the same as a 1000cc super sports
yet a bike that is equally as quick as mine gets theirs for 1/3rd the price!!!
Seriously, can we complain to the NSW government over this?
You should write a letter! Its obviously been overlooked and if you don't say something nothing will happen to change it.
On a similar note my car tax came through today - my first ever car tax since ive always ridden bikes and my first bike tax was £15 and my zxr has been £32. Car tax... £140 :cry:
Problem is its a government set class.
There are only two categories of bikes according to the NSW government.
Under 300cc
Over 300cc
Its bullshit!
I'll get all the facts then send them a nicely worded email (seriously) in a few days time.
I think when you reach over 30yrs old, WQBE do more capacity brackets on CTP instead of the usual <300cc, >300cc.
Unfortunately I've got a few years to go before things get cheaper :mad:
Here's my letter
Quote
To whom it may concern,
I would like to raise an issue that I believe is unfair for owners of
certain Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme (LAMS) approved
motorcycles.
As you would be aware, new rules introduced on the 6th September 2002,
to allow Learners and Provisional license holders to ride certain
motorbikes that had a power to weight ratio of less than 150kw per
tonne and with an engine capacity below 650cc. This replaced the
previous restriction that only allowed bikes with an engine
displacement of 250cc or less.
I congratulate that move as I believe it is a sensible update, as
limiting engine performance is more crucial than limiting engine size.
However I believe the GreenSlip laws should be modified to reflect
this change.
Currently there are two categories of GreenSlips for Motorcycles.
Under 300cc and Over 300cc
The price difference between the categories is very substantial often
up to 3 times as much for riding a larger capacity bike.
I would suggest the categories be changed so that the two categories
are "LAMS compliant" and "Non LAMS Compliant"
This would mean bikes are classified on Power output not just engine capacity.
In the current system the owner of a Suzuki GS500 pays an equal amount
as an owner of a Kawasaki ZX10R that has 4 times the power.
On the opposite side of the scale, there are many 250cc motorbikes
that exceed larger capacity LAMS approved motorcycles peak power. Yet
they get a heavily reduced GreenSlip price for falling under the 300cc
category.
For reference on a recent enquiry of GreenSlip prices I was quoted:
BIKE MODEL - ENGINE CAPACITY - PEAK POWER - WEIGHT - GREENSLIP PRICE
SUZUKI GS500 - 487cc - 30kw - 180kg = $405
KAWASAKI ZX10R - 998cc - 121kw - 175kg = $405
HONDA CBR-250RR - 250cc - 34kw - 160kg = $147
As can be seen, Engine capacity is not the best way of judging a bikes
performance and hence GreenSlip prices.
I hope common sense prevails and the NSW GreenSlip pricing categories
will be reviewed and modified to reflect the sensible changes made
with the introduction of LAMS.
QBE quoted me over $600 :o
Just renewed my full comprehensive insurance on my 2005 GS500F. I'm a male 27 years of age with a full no claim bonus of 65% . Last year I insured with NRMA. This year they offered:
NRMA
Agreed value was: $7,840
Excess: $500
Premium: $539.65
I went with Insuremyride.
http://www.insuremyride.com.au
Agreed Value was $6800
I added $1000 worth of modification cover
Excess: $400
Premium: $456.46
InsureMyRide is a wholly owned subsidiary of Suncorp - one of Australia's largest publicly-listed insurance and financial services businesses.
NSW Rego and CTP Greenslip for me again. Im 28, on a full no claim bonus.
NSW Registration = $101
NSW Greenslip for 12 months:
Allianz = $424.00
AAMI = $624.00
CIC-Allianz = $616.00
GIO = $448.51
NRMA = $438.81
QBE = $615.00
Zurich = $614.00
Hey, in NSW you can now get 6 month greenslips! :thumb:
In comparisson, my greenslip on my GSXR1000 costs the same as the GS (which is a joke! If you had a CBR250RR the greenslip would be $190)
, but my comprehensive insurance for the 1000 was $1090
Insuremyride were the only ones that would consider offering me comprehensive cover. The rest all declined citing I had not held an unrestricted licence for 2yrs minimum (and said that excluded any periods on L's or P's). IMR's quote was pretty reasonable including gear cover and the guy even mentioned the $1500 additional inexperienced rider at fault excess they charge when I spoke to them.
I'm another November rego - 19th

I am with InsureMyRide, when i bought my bike i put under my dads name and I used his Rating 1 no claim bonus for the bnike and put myself down as another rider.
For full comprehensive insurance it is $1017p.a
Which i am willing to pay.
Rego was $200 or so it think and greenslip was $340
Give QBE a look. You can pay comprehensive by the month. For me its $36. My greenslip was also cheapest through them at 460. This was on May 18 2009.
Turning 30 has helped with Insurance Costs!!!
GS500F
NSW Rego - $108
NRMA CTP Greenslip - $312 (12 months, Full no claim Bonus)
GSXR100F
NSW Rego - $108
GIO CTP Greenslip - $380 (12 months, Full no claim Bonus. Had to ring for a policy, can't do it online)
Insuremyride Full Comprehensive - $750 (down from $1000 thanks to me turning 30)
Oh, and Insuremyride now does NSW CTP Greenslips!!!!
GS500F (2007 model)
NSW Rego 108
NRMA STP Greenslip $296.52 full 12 months. Full no claim bonus and road side assist.
Comprehensive AAMI $385 full 12 months insured for $7500
'09 K9
CTP Swann insurance $242.73
Comprehensive NRMA $485.11 agreed value $7500. Numerous listed riders down to the age of 21.
Queensland is something like
rego fee: (12 months) 91.30
traffic improvement fee: 45.80
CTP: (i cbf looking for my cirt. so i searched) $100 http://www.motorcycleroadworthys.com.au/registration.html#003 (http://www.motorcycleroadworthys.com.au/registration.html#003)
and full comp insurance 30yo no clam bonus was $300 iirc
Just paid my 12 months rego - Qld. $400.20. Twenty cents? Give us a friggen break. Geeze.
Insurance due. I've got it fully comprehensively insured at an agreed amount which is more than a new bike costs currently. $240 through Swann.
Here's the kicker but... IF I approach Swann as a new customer, I don't get this price. I only seem to get this price as an existing customer.
Michael
Thats quiet the discount mister.

No kidding. I must have some kind of "preferred customer" note attached to my file or something. They are Really good to me.
Got a quote on my recently acquired "new to me" other bike from the dealer. Went to Swann, said nothing about the quote and they insured it for a grand more and for less premium. And chances are, next year when it's due they'll say "I think we can do better" have a look and then do better. It's what they seem to do for me.
On the other hand, my car is through someone else. I claimed for hail damage and they dropped me to Rating 3 WTF! - Make a claim and drop two ratings. It's not like I crashed, it was hail for fugs sake. So when the next year I went Up to rating 2 but the premium still went Up, I'm like "how can you give me a bigger discount but charge me more than you were?" When it comes around again I'll switch that to Swann as well.
Michael
Although I'm only young my ctp and rego combined was about $400 though a smaller branch company of AAMI that insured the previous owners. All other quotes put rego costs up around 600-800.
However comphrensive on a 04' gs500f with $400 excess is $2500 for me. Despite no accidents.
What a difference 12 months makes. Swann CTP has increased by $106 :o, so got a quote off NRMA only to find the price was exactly the same :dunno_black:

CTP will not differ for your rego. The choice is an illusion.
BUT, outside of rego CTP is where the changes really take place.
Michael
Does anyone here know about the laws (I'm in NSW) regarding the legality of modifications?
For something like fitting a muffler, bars and mirrors etc. Superficil stuff. Is that technically illegal?
Go onto the NSW RTA website and read the VSIs. They are pretty clear on what you can and can't do. As for what your insurance company is happy with that's a different ball game.
Muffler will have requirements as its not as superficial as you may think for the RTA. I'm not sure what they are but have a read on the website. The more you read on the site you will find things like, every second 4x4 is illegal because of the extra large tyres they are running etc. Quite interesting. I've done a fair amount of car modifying and VSIs were a good guide, so when the cars went to engineering there usually wasn't to much to get fixed up.
A.Milos are you on a restricted license? P's, L's? That will rule out the muffler :police:
111 for rego (plus plate was an extra 30 or so yet thats a one off thing) then 560ish for my greenslip, 100 less than my car for greenslip yet still a decent ammount
$560 for a greenslip. Is that because your under 25?
crap sorry i just looked at the recipt
467 so i was 100 bucks to expensive in my last post,
but yeah im only 24
Rego is pretty standard at 112
Not sure of green slip for the gs but for my gpx250 it was 376
Comp insurance was 1550 and that's with discounts for rating 4 and aami safe driver rewards. That's the price of being 21 I guess
Wow man. Full comp with AAMI is costing me 376 this year. I am rating 1 and platinum but still your almost 4 times the amount and I've only had a bike license for 3 and a bit years.
Yep. Age is a killer.
It's Good to know that it'll be heaps cheaper in 4 years tho :)
Hey all I'm from nsw and need to get my gs registered it has been out of rego for around 2 years so I'll need a blue slip and pink slip?? Sorry to tread bomb :D

And your question is?
Michael
Price of a blue slip?? Oops :D
I forgot to update my Rego costs this year :cookoo: 248 for ctp greenslip with gio. 240 comprehensive with Qbe.
I recently renewed my rego for 12 months, here in QLD. All the CTP insurers are the same price.
Came to $411.00.
CTP $262.80.
Registration $98.70.
"Traffic Improvement Fee" $49.50. (Who knows where this is going).
I check with each of the CTP providers to see if they are doing any 'switch to us' promotions,, usually in the order of a $20-25 gift card. I couldn't see much difference between them in terms of the coverage they provide, so I just switch between them each rego change on each vehicle and spend the gift cards on food/clothing. I figure 40 bucks a year for not doing much is better than a kick in the teeth...
You'll find that having a vehicle's 3rd party with an insurer counts as having insurance with them. So if any offer discounts for multiple policies, the 3rd party choice counts. by doing this I save more than $40 a year on insurance.
Michael
