Can't be any worse than home now. Got a power bill through, $1100 for 3 months, up 50% based on previous 3 months and our habits haven't changed. Rego for my bike is now 900 for a year too boot.
I'm assuming it includes liability insurance.. It's about the same here, depending on your age, licence class, type of bike and the insurer.. For an FZR600 I had quotes ranging from $1000ish to $9000 and I was 27, had a clean record. Once I went over 30, I could insure it for $550 as it was too old to be surcharged as a SS bike by Jevco, but Jevco's gone.
