Taxes on new veichles are out of control - any solution?

I am an oleh chadash from 2016 that made aliyah from Italy. This year I decided to explore this country a bit more, instead of being stuck around tel aviv and ramat gan, and the idea was to get a 300cc bike to get out of the city in the weekend.

Went to the Honda dealership, and discovered that Motorcycles here cost exactly twice as much as in Europe.

Why these taxes are so steep? And how is it possible that I see plenty of brand electric chinese cars around? Is there a discount or tax exemption on electric veichles?

Took me this long to save enough money to get the bike, will have to spend a lot also on mandatory insurance, and now turns out that a bike that is 4500€ will be 9500€ here, just for taxes.

Is there a way to import the bike myself (my father can arrange a delivery) from Europe and pay just the custom clearance and registration? Maybe importing it as a kit motorbike (delivering it in pieces) instead of a whole new one?
