Yes but an alarm isn't going to be as loud as the large angle grinder needed to get through a 19mm almax.

My SV Had a datatool Veto Evo on it. My other half's Ducati has a Datatool System 3 on it.
Both alarms are a complete pain in the ass. I dont know if its me or not, but I find the datatool system a nuisance I dont like the way it arms itself after 30 seconds so when your halfway through putting a tank of fuel in the alarm then goes off. The keyfobs are massive and feel clunky to use. My GSXR has a Meta 357T on it. If you turn the ignition on and then off again it immobilises instead of arms so thats better for when filling with fuel. If you want to work on the bike you dont need to put it into service mode to stop it arming all the time like you do with the datatool, you can just leave the bike immobilised, they keyfob is much smaller and of a neater design. If I had to plump for one I would say go for the Meta, but heres a tip, dont keep the keyfob on the ignition key. Keep it on a lanyard around your neck that way it wont get bumped and vibrated around and also it wont get the wet into it either. I very nearly got stranded in wales a few years ago as the keyfob on the datatool got soaking wet and it messed the fob up and it wouldnt work anymore, luckilly I had put the alarm into service mode just before the fob stopped working so I was able to finish my ride and get home again.

Should you decide to fit a factory alarm I would say that my experience with Meta has been positive, and I find Datatool, while sophisticated, hugely irritating.
The Datatool system 3 (now replaced, I believe with the System 4) has the following "features" that I dislike:
Just my experiences, and I understand much of the feature set of the Datatool system 4 can be changed. Jambo
