'05 Speed Triple Immobiliser / Alarm

Hi everyone,

I'm new, so sorry if my question is a bit redundant - though I did have a quick search before posting and couldn't find what I needed so here goes!

I am currently in the motions of moving into Bristol city center. Unfortunately the city seems to be having a on going and fairly rampant issue with motorcycle theft - particularly of the Speed Triple variety. I understand that basically groups of kids are hot wiring them, thrashing them and then burning them out (the usual),

I already have a hefty disc lock and will be looking at a ground anchor and decent chain for the garage. However I'm also considering an immobiliser or alarm but am looking for some honest opinions on them as to how good they are, which ones are recommended and any pros and cons I might not be aware of.

Thanks in advance,
Lewis

 

Im not sure about commuting on it yet, but it gets fair use either way - is this because of battery issues? And yes a brick built garage

 

I think you're probably right, for the cost associated with the immobiliser/alarm i could get several other physical deterrents...i'm almost certainly gibing it too much thought.

 

I hadn’t really considered data tagging. The local issue seems to be kids hot wiring, which is what that has prompted me to investigate. As for professional thieves looking to steal for sale overseas or cloning etc I don’t think much really puts them off.

 

Hmm, okay well i think that puts the alarm/immobiliser issue to bed. Thanks for the recommended locks and chains - ill check them out and make a decision.
