All motor vehicles in japan need to be registered. But if your bike is under 250cc it doesn't need the bi annual vehicle inspection which saves you up to 350 USD every 2 years. And if your motor vehicle fails the inspection (happens quite often) then you have to pay even more to get it repaired up to standards. Typical car/motorcycle owners pay about 800 USD every 2 years for this maintenance and inspection. You will notice that Kawasaki specifies the engine of the Kawasaki ninja 250r to be 249cc for this reason.

In japan everything is so crowded and cars are exorbitantly expensive in taxes and maintenance costs and gas is around 4 to 8 USD per gallon. Scooters are very popular because they are light, the size of bicycles and get decent mileage.
