Don't you have state taxes which are different across the US, as well as registration fees, expensive delivery charges etc, on top of the recommended price for a bike? I see a lot of complaints from US riders on these 'rip off' charges. In the UK the RRP is the price you pay, including all taxes etc. It's rare to pay more than that, perhaps for expensive Ferraris etc. The RRP is the top price, customers would usually pay less with discounts, dealer 'contributions' etc.

Correct we have a state sales tax that differs from state to state.
I live in Michigan, food bought from a store is not taxed.
Food bought from a restaurant is taxed 6%
Vehicles, items, clothing, tools, etc are taxed 6%
If I buy a motorcycle from a dealer it’s taxed 6% new or used.
If I buy a motorcycle / vehicle used from a private seller you can cheat the system and fudge the amount you paid for the privately sold vehicle.
Example, if I bought a used road motorcycle for $5000.00 I could tell the secretary of state when doing the title transfer that I paid $2000.00 and pay tax only on that $2000.00

If I buy a used lawn mower from a private seller, you wouldn’t have to pay tax on it as no title is required.

Tax amounts differ from state to state. Some are 2.9 to 7.75%

What is ridiculous is if you sell a used vehicle, it doesn’t matter if it’s a month old or 100 years old. If you transfer the title, and do it at the Secretary of State / dmv / license bureau, you’ll be paying a tax on it.
Something that’s had the tax paid on it multiple times or once before in the pass. It’s ridiculous to keep paying a tax on something used that been sold and paid.

If I buy a 1950 vehicle from a seller and transfer the title to my name, I pay a tax on it again. Even though it’s already had the tax paid on it from the previous owner/s.
If I sell that same vehicle to someone else, he pays tax on it.
If he then sells it, the next buyer pays a tax on it. It’s ridiculous. Each buyer pays a tax on it if its title is being transferred. The tax amount would depend on tax rate and the selling price.
 
VAT at 20% or sales tax is only paid of the first sale by the dealer on the full list price and any extras like PDI check.

For used vehicles the Dealer adds 20% VAT but only on the profit margin. Private sellers add nothing and the DVLA want nothing either as they get it later in excise duty.

And, it changes over time. When I moved to Virginia, you only paid sales tax on new vehicles purchased in Virginia or if you bought elsewhere that had no or less sales tax. Even though the tax rate was 4% you only paid 2% on vehicles.

Now it's 6% of the value no matter what with a minimum of $75 for titling.

When I moved here, you paid 4% on everything but vehicles. Now food and prescriptions have no sales tax. Non-food in grocery stores do have 6% sales tax.

For vintage vehicles the registration is $50 one-time for as long as you own it, but the license is somewhat limited. Also, there are no annual inspections or Personal Property tax for vintage vehicles.

The rules and rates are different in all the adjoining states.

That's a good rate. Pay tax to buy it, then pay tax/fees to LICENSE it, yes, that's fair

Personal Property tax is SICKENING to me. You pay tax when you buy it, then you pay tax to KEEP it???

NO. That's NOT fair, that's usurious.

Yes, I'm serious.

In Michigan our trailer plates are a one time purchase and do not get an annul renewal.
They are good for the life of ownership.

If you have a classic vehicle, you can use an authentic license plate from that same year of your classic vehicle and never have to renew it. That’s a one time fee of $35.00.

Same here on grocery store purchases.

We don’t have vehicle testing or inspections unless it’s a DOT vehicle over 10,001 pounds.​
