I took an inspection for my CB.

I seem to recall that Japan is pretty strong on this stuff. I may well be wrong, but I think I recall once hearing the cost of registering a vehicle increases after two years as they try to keep older less safe and more polluting vehicles off the road.

Yeah.
Foolish politicians and government workers like to increase taxes.
We are always angry. Boooo

Most of these countries with high prices due to built-in taxes or not-built-in fees are social welfare states -- that's how they pay for the welfare.

Here the inspection is $35 and consists of the owner applying the brake(s), turning on the turn signals, and applying the horn. All done in 2 minutes. But they very much want to make sure you have insurance!

Hi postoak.
That sounds good.
It"s so cheap......I'm jealous. Ha ha

No inspections of any kind in Georgia and just one of the reasons I like where I live. Once a year by birth month we pay a license tag registration fee of $20 per motorcycle.

Hi redbirds.
Sounds good and even the registration fee is so cheap.
I really move to your country, ha ha

I forgot referring the insurance.
We Japanese people have to have a compulsion insurance when we registered a car or a bike and have to pay it every inspection.
