.03% state sales tax of either vehicle purchase price or DMV appraisal at purchase
$25.00 per year for tag renewal
$12.00 safety inspection (brakes, tires, lights, etc.) every year
Annual personal property tax (again by DMV appraisal value)
Mandatory liability insurance (varies by region, driver and motorcycle type)
Crap, this stuff adds up! Don't get me started on toll roads, bridge crossing fees and gasoline tax....

Here in taxachusetts we have to pay 6.25% of the cot of the bike for sales tax. Insurance is a must, max if carrying a loan. Then every year we have to pay excise tax to the town. This covers the cost of repairs to the streets. they get us on every level.
Registration once a year... $40 Its $80 if I want custom plates.
Inspection once a year..... $14.50 (That said I dont know when it was inspected last)
That is it. I know it says so-cal but Im from Texas and my bike is registered there.

It would be hard to find a place where it's more expensive to own and operate a Harley than the PRK.
