Being the official gov't website, they have got it back to front, of
course. The actual sums are based on $13.93 per hundred kgs. For the
sake of simplicity, by decree all bikes under 250 cc will be licensed
as being between 100 and 200 kgs, all bikes over 250cc will be
licensed as being between 200 and 300 kgs.

work it out yourself.
You're looking at about $215 per year for the Postie. On the other
hand, an 1100 Guzzi is only $14 more.
