Cali Scooter Registration ?

Someone might have some useful info about this matter. My friend has a Yamaha scooter. Seems like in the past with registration and insurance, it ran between $500-$700 a yr. She says that they have a new law. They say that all scooters, 2yrs old, & older, have to have a check-up. some kind of SOAT, taxes, and the insurance. Seems like 1,988,750 cop, total is a little high. Anyone knowledgeable have any comments. Thanks

I see promociones for new motos including SOAT etc for 2 millions...........

2 millions yearly? I honestly think that most moto owners can't afford that!

The Badass Yamaha cost 3K new 3 yrs ago. I was there at the shop.
Heres the breakdown.
$585 a yr insurance. Full coverage, including theft.
$158 Taxes
$164 Soat
$168 Check up.
Still look like a rip/scam?
I personally don't know where you can get a nice scooter in Cali for 1K US. Some junk maybe.
