Default sales tax!!!!!!!!

How much did you pay the DMV for sales tax to register your bike? I cannot believe I have to pay $1,333.00 to register my bike in Tn. Just had to vent!!!!!!

I think I paid around $800 as I bought it used. It still was a lot for tax...But well worth it.

Hehe ... Here in Denmark it's 25% VAT and 180% in vehicle registration. Basically you'd have topay almost USD 50.000 to register a brand new fatboy ...

I paid none. Another advantage of buying used from a private party and living in Arizona.
