I had to pay it also.
I live in NJ but was unable to get my Pitster Pro LXR 250F registered in NJ because they don't recognize PP as an "authorized" motorcycle manufacturer in this state. I had to go through South Dakota and they required an invoice showing the total cost of the motorcycle to include the $300 shipping. Of course my first thought was "Really, are you kidding me..?" but it wasn't really that big of a deal. I wound up paying an extra $12 for the shipping. I was just glad that S.D. was giving me a plate and on top of it, their sales tax is only 4% compared to NJ's rate of 7% so I was still ahead of the game.
