12 Months Tax.....£96

Annually, @Dougie D, you have to love your riding.
That’s per bike too, no understanding that you can only ride one at a time. Many guys put their rego on hold (as I do for my V8) while not using them, but it has to be a minimum of 3 months. If you want to use it within the 3 months, you pay the lot. Get caught using an on-hold vehicle and you pay back to last registration which can be years.

 

Sounds like we dont really have a lot to complain about in the UK..at the moment anyway

 

And then you look at what we pay in Excise Duty (tax) in our fuel to ride and you’ll feel sick. 91 is around $2.20/litre and 96 is $2.45 in Auckland.From 1 July 2020, the rate of PED is 70.024 cents per litre

Diesel is only $1.50, but you pay Road User Charges on top of that.
The cost of a RUC distance licence for a light vehicle — for example, a car, van or ute — is NZD$76 per 1000km, including GST.
UK fuel duty is currently 57.95 pence per litre for petrol and diesel.

 

In England, our prices are round £1.35/£1.40 for unleaded and diesel depending on the area you are buying in
I think that's about AUD2.55 and USD 2.00 and EUR1.65

Wait till Covid is 'over' and prices will go up a lot as traffic increases again

Sadly for a litre, not a gallon, but I did check

 

Road tax is just another means to filling the coffers..
(I know I'm going to get loads of sympathy, but....) If you're lucky/stupid enough to buy a new-ish car with a new list price over £40k then it's an additional £335/yr for 5 years - just because HM Gov think you can afford it.
