With the recent threads around theft, and my new bike coming in I decided to look into alarms systems. I searched around the board and found an old post from 2002 about alarms, but there wasn't much info and I'm sure the technology has changed.
Anyone got one? Any recommendations? Just poking around on the Internet I like this:

Get a Gps tracking device and a Class A license, It works the best.( just kidding). To be truthfull dont even waste time on alarms, If they really want it they are going to get it sooner or later. Lojack is the best thing for motocycles so far and if they have a hour or 2 head start its too late.
dcen has one, alarm goes off and the alarm activator beeps in your pocket when it does. i guess you can also set it to go off either when people are within 20 ft, 10ft, a few ft, of actually standing the bike up, etc.

i had my 1st bike stolen and so wen i moved 2 a nice bike i was weary, so i was able to get the dealership 2 throw in LOW-Jack for free....but even if they didnt do so i wld have spent the cash 4 it, u figure if ur ride is stolen, it takes teh insurance company 30 days before they can issue a check unless the bike is recovered.....so if it does get stolen u find teh bike they bone head that steals it gets the shit can, nd u can get the situation cleared up nd resolved quicker......i am also going to be installin a full alrm on mine as wel tho, 2 avoid it even gettn stolen or even touched 9i hate wen ppl touch ur shit wit their grimy hands) i looked at a couple nd my sponsor can most deffinately give u a dreat deal on the package installed.....
The Cycle Protect seems to have a nice mix of the dcen and lojack features. I can be set to text you if there is a touch/shock, Its hooked into a GPS so it can text message you if it moves. It also shows you exactly where it is on google maps when you pull up the web page. It also has a batter backup and will text you if the bettery is tampered with (i.e. the old short trick).
Seems like a fairly well thought out product. Only problem is that it is upwards of $600.

i installed a Marlin unit made by DEI few months back kinda of a pain in the ass to install but didnt turn out that bad when done ....
the bike i got had a scorpio installed (the one mentioned with the pager, and the perimeter sensor). You can adjust the perimeter sensor and I almost never turn it on. But the normal alarm (detects shock, or if the bike is vertical) is on always and works well.
I think it's a nice thing to have but it still won't help if I'm not somewhat near the bike so the pager can be in range and tell me if something is happening. The scorpio has accessories you can add to the alarm (the perimeter sensor being one of them) but there's also an anti-hot wire thing that prevents the bike from being started. Don't know how important that is...
Also i heard a lot of things about alarms draining the battery and giving all sorts of problems with the electrical system, but the scorpio has its own battery supply and I haven't had any issues with it. I think if you're just gonna be within a mile or two of the bike for most of the day, then you don't need to invest in anything more than a good alarm with a pager. If the bike is constantly far away from you and on the street or exposed, then I'd get the Lo-jack.

Ah, can't believe Dan didn't even see this thread. No lie, he loves that alarm to death and can't stop pressing for that female voice.
Hahahaha thanks, now I know to get myself an orgasmoooooo for all my expensive appliances haa. Where would you find that kind of video? haha
lol u dirtbags. i been busy with work so haven't had time to ride or read forums =[
u have no idea how useful that little alarm is especially when i'm late for class and just park on the damn sidewalk lol. it's saved my ass plenty of times including when my fraternity throws parties and theres drunk people everywhere.
fyi, drunk people LOVE touching and posing on bikes... THEN accidentally knocking it over

I heard about lojack and found out that it would cost me $1200+ for the part+installation!!!
any suggestions on alarms? does anybody know what dcen^^ has on his bike?
EDIT: ok...just realized its name is 'Internatrix' ...I thought he was just referring to the internet as internatrix (like interwebz etc) ..but its the alarms system brand indeed!

I have and installed the Scorpio SR-i900. Kept on silentbut still get a little chirp when you turn the key off..
anyway its a two-way FM security system that incorporates the convenience of hands free operation by automatically detecting the remote.
The pager remote monitors system status up to a ½ mile away. Remote Ignition Disable, Perimeter Sensor, Factory Connector Kit, and built in Back-Up Battery...

^^Yeah I read a little about Scorpio alarms. How easy are they to install?
Do I have to do any rewiring??
