Default Additional costs above MSRP

Here is CA you get raped by tax, licensing, etc when you buy your new bike from the dealer. Wondering if any Oregonians can break downthe typical additional costonnew bike purchase? Let's say on a 15k MSRP.

Don't bikes being registered in Cali (from out of state) require something like 7500 miles on the odometer before they'll even allow them to be registered?

Ahh, OK makes sense now. Good boy you got there [8D]

Ya they require a certain mileage, I think its somwhere around 7500, to bring it in the state and the mileage needs to be there if you are a CA resident at the time of purchase.
