Probably 2k for the bike and a grand for the plate, plus whatever but certainly on the steep side.

Not working on mine but I was over at my pals last night for five hours helping him pull his VFR8 apart - an all-round overhaul. The single swingarm in particular is a pain, especially the rear stub nut (tightened to 200Nm and replaced on removal FFS!) that you have to shift it to get the brake disk...

Woo. Keep those locked at night!
The Wall bike is just asking to be tagged up.

The level of taxation is a prime example of top-down financial terrorism.

Hiya Mac, welcome
