Which Motorcycle Alarm?
 
How much should I spend on an alarm for my pointy 650? I've seen they range from about £20 to hundreds, are the more expensive ones much better?

Can anyone recommend me an alarm?

Am currently looking at this one:

It's very cheap, but is it worth spending more than this?

An alarm is only as good as the person who is going to get stuck in to prevent it being removed.
Ground anchors a chain and lock plus a disc lock with built in alarm is a better plan.

I already have a chain and a disc lock. This is an addition to above

I would go to great lengths to avoid having an alarm because I hate them.
Spend the money on petrol and keep moving.

last thing you want is to be stuck in the middle of Ireland with a bike that wont start due to your alarm failing. mechanical security is more effective than an alarm IMHO. As Kenzie said, get yourself a Xena(or similar) alarmed disc lock and a decent chain.

Aftermarket alarms seem to only stop the owners riding away!!!

Xena disk lock with alarm gets my vote. (Stops you riding away with it still on too, tested!!! )
