    I am in CT and I certainly am not paying excise(property) taxes on any vehicle on my property that does not have a current registration certificate.

    To ride on your own property in ct the law is it should be registered. To ride at t dam it needs to be registered. Then we pay taxes. Years ago my quad was $125 a year tax. With no place to ride a quad here in ct. we'd go to mass. I registered it in mass too.

    Your bikes have to be registered to ride on private property? On your land? That's insane!

    In NY we pay a yearly registration fee. $17.50/year for a street or ATV registration. You are supposed to register your ATV if you take it off your property. We pay sales tax one time when you first register.

    Now there's a progressive government policyfor once!
    While we don't pay for use on private property, we are well and truly reamed when we register a vehicle for road use.
    My '88 400 would cost around $550AUD ($416USD) per year for the "priveledge" of using it on our roads!

    Yet I can drive my farm and estate tractors going mowing on the street with only a slow moving triangle sign on the rear. They don't bother farmers and horses with carriages.

    My kids are riding my land unregistered till I'm told.

    Years ago my registered dirtbikes for the street was cheap with taxes. Now the vintage bikes are more valuable so I think the taxes went up I'm not sure.

    Wow, those fees for riding registration are a bit high there in Australia.
    I just renewed my 2015 FE 501 street legal registration last week for the year and it cost me $4.99, that's the Arizona fee. I think the "OHV" Off Highway Vehicle sticker that goes on the license plate costs more than that. Which a renewal hasn't even been sent to me yet for it. Don't really need it anyway.
    Taxes are a 1 time fee paid during the first registration.

    Got the FE501 Registration tags today, $4.99 for a year.
    It breaks down like this below:

    Veh Lic Tax $3.00
    Air Quality $1.50
    Postage/Handling $.049

    I don't get why the 2015 Husky is cheaper by a long shot than my 2009 BMW G450X which I tagged last month. It was $45.40 for a year.
    The BMW break down: ?

    Veh Lic Tax $34.41
    Registration $9.00
    Air Quality $1.50
    Postage/Handling $0.49


    Both are the same registration types: Full
    Same County: Cochise
    Same category; H

    The BMW is registered as a MC where as the FE501 is tagged as a ATV ?
    The BMW I bought in state from the Tucson, AZ. BMW dealer. It was the BMW Dealership Owners personal bike.

    The Husky FE 501 I bought out of State from Bills MC Plus in Oregon.
    I paid a 1 time state tax of over $650.00 when I first registered it.

    Don't know why the older bike is costing me so much more? I guess I'll be paying that tax for years to come.

    I went to register my '83 husky 250wr with a bill of sale years ago. The state of ct refused the bill of sale as ownership. I told the lady I'll register it out of state. She said once you have it registered out of state bring the paperwork here and will register in ct. yup I'm going to pay for the registration twice. Don't hold your breath.
