The rego is the registration you pay once a year. Not sure how much a bike rego is but the car here in Vic is around $500.
Part of the rego goes to the TAC, its kinda like an insurance if you knock someone down maybe & TAC will pay medical bills.
If you wrote your bike off you would get nothing back so no you can't use rego as insurance, you need to insure it like you do in UK.

Anyhow you can pay like in the UK 6 months at a time or a year at a time. For cars the more cylinders you have the more $$$$$$$$$$$ you pay so for a big 8 cylindar 4 wheel drive you will be pay $800plus. Not sure for a motorbike - a lot less but in Queensland you have to register and pay registation on caravans, trailers and boats too so can get expensive if you are a two car, caravanning family!!!!!
Depends whether you are a Queensland or New SOuth Wales Gold Coaster - have no idea about NSW.
Happy motorcycling

Dont think that CTP is all you need to drive on the road. Although its not law to have either 3rd party or comprehensive insurance you would be stupid not to have it...
