It becomes eligible at the first license renewal in its 40th year, ie if it was registered in July 1976 but the current license expiry date is February 2016 it will be eligible for the lower rate from the beginning of next year.

That's why you manipulate it to expire at the start of January.
They're onto it - you will get the renewal a month in advance in December, but it will be sorted correctly.

And the current licensing cost is made up as follows:
Licence fee $19-50
ACC Levy 37-42
Other levies 1-64
admin/label 3-74 on line
at agent 6-43
GST 9-75
Total $71-65 on line, $74-74 at agent.

This system is such a f#@k'n joke, why is the license portion of my motorbike rego still substantially higher than cars?

Probably gets trickled back to ACC to cover
motorbike accidents - 60% of them caused by cage drivers :)

It shouldn't be. What did you pay past time?

Not sure where you heard that one. To quote the MOT 2014 stat's; "The motorcycle rider has the primary responsibility for 67 percent of fatal motorcycle crashes, but the comparable figure for minor injury crashes is 51 percent."

Have a look at http://www.transport.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Research/Documents/Motorcycles-2014.pdf
From a motorcyclists point of view it makes for sober reading, we've just all got to learn to be safer out there (car drivers included).

it isn't, I mistakenly worked it out and didn't include GST. It's actually only $24.50, my car is $43.50. The ACC levy still hurts though and would love to know what they're spending my $30 per year safety levy on.
