Not sure if many others have done it, but here in sunny 'rip you off for everything' Queensland, the cost of registering even a small bike is over the top....but one can save about $200 per year on compulsory 3rd party insurance by formally having the bike certified as a single seater. Had mine done today.
Removed both pillion pegs, seat meant to be removed or defoamed (getting pack on it so guy accepted that), a certification plate rivetted on (placed underneath spare seat storage area, so nice and hidden) and visit to local Transport branch and all done.
I have an old XT500 thumper that I occasionally exercise my right knee on!.. did the same for that too a few years ago....for the same reason..saving $$$$
