Data Tool seem to be the one that most people go for.

I have the Data Tool System 4 on my R1 but I can't say I like it that much, I much prefer the system 3.

Datatool system 3. all the way

Got a Datatool Veto Evo Alarm/Immobiliser myself. Very pleased with it. It's quite sensitive and beeps whenever the bike is moved. Can be a pain in strong winds.

Gave me a discount on insurance but I'm never sure how much notice people actually take of alarms. I'm sure that a lot more people will complain abut the noise rather than do something about it if it actually went off.

It's piece of mind i suppose.

Why spend all that money on a cat 1 alarm, your money would be better spent on a decent ground anchor and an almax chain from what I've read. Alarms aren't even that much of a deterrant anymore, a pro thief would have your bike away so quickly that by the time the alarm has gone off and someones actually taken notice the bike will be gone.

I had a Meta 357 on my 954 Blade and it was faultless, unlike the Datatool I'd had previously on my R6. Got a Meta M357TV2-1 Cat 1 upgrade on the R1 and had no problems with it at all, it's even got a lovely key conversion.

I've just bought a pager system to go with it that I'm sure I'll get round to fitting when the weather is better.

i've a meta m357t no problems on gsxr

[dainesefreak]

I have an Almax chain, lock and ground anchor from the lovely Maxine and she gave me a tenner off for being a member of the forum. Got from Here their online store. Chain is huge and the ground anchor was easily fitted by my monkey hands. I also have a Meta 357 whatever.

Got my Alarm from Henry Krank, cost £12 and by heck does everyone know when it's gone off

[Aikman666]

My stepdad has the same model of blade as you, he has the datatool alarm fitted it i remember correctly, thinks its brilliant, never bothered with any security other than it and a garage. Infact its so good, sometimes HE cant even get the bike started . Also i once set off the alarm in the garage by mistake, it almost deafened me, as far as im aware they use the highest available legal alarm

Don't forget that it is more often down to the standard of workmanship and knowledge of the alarm fitter, that determines how good your alarm will work and how reliable it will be in the future.

I think a lot of alarm problems are caused by bad fitting and not the actual failure of the alarm unit etc. So whatever you choose either Meta, Datatool or other cat 1, make sure that the person doing the work is experienced and recommended.
