The NZ govt knows how to sting ya.

*edit, wrong price...
What is the insurance cost on a GZ? Here in the province of British Columbia we are forced to buy ins from the government and you just know that will never be a competitive price with a real ins company. They have a wonderful way of determining who is at fault too. If I am rear ended while at a stop I am 25% at fault just because I was there to be hit.
Another brilliant idea is charging by engine size only. A 600 sport bike is the same as my lowly 650 Vstrom even though the sport bike will have twice the power and likely(actually proven)to be involved in more accidents and offences. Don't these gov officials study any real data?
