RS125 theft risk

[Mord]

Does Aprilia RS125 get stolen more often than other 125s? Should I pay much for a proper lock or the one for £30-40 will do? Any good security cable/chain locks which won't cost me a fortune?

spend the money on it. do not ever get lazy and leave it unlocked either.

almax make great chains.

I think official statistics show that the RS is top of the stolen list.

+1 for Almax.

if you live in London id say yes, if you live in the country then its probably the dt that's at the top of thief list.

at the end of the day its a bike desired by kids that most of them can ride (well make move in a straight line) so its at risk, but barely any more then any other desired bike

if you can keep it out of sight that's half the battle, but with so many things if they want it bad enough they will find a way, i would get it alarmed so you can here it when in the house, and get the best chain and ground anchor your money can stretch too.

Oh well.. I spent money on my bike I should spend 3-5% of the bike value on the proper security lock.

In my local bike shop there are Oxford locks.. are they any good? Those Almax ones I can order online though.

[yandy_yay]

oxford aint the best by a long chalk but still better than nothing !

Squire chains and locks are supposed to be good but have a high price tag too.

No, oxford locks are only a visual deterrant, manual bolt croppers can have them open is under 20 seconds as shown on the almax website.
Almax or pragmasis i think are another name on the same level as almax

I'll buy Almax after I get my salary. Until then I'll park it only at home.

Another vote for Almax here, pricey, but you'll see why when you get it

My bike has a system 3 alarm, the shed it lives in is alarmed, I have various locks and chains and the car blocking the shed doors is alarmed. Can't be too careful no matter what the bike is.

hi,
perhaps the reason its so widely stolen, (apart from being desirable) is the fact that if someone like me, ie not a bike thief, can hotwire it with a pair of nail clippers in under 10 seconds?
get an alarm/immobiler & the best locks you can afford.
cheers,
GAZ

Ground anchor Alarmed disc lock and 2 fuck off big chains and another important thing


A bike cover if a theif cant see it as easily to identify it he might not want to risk being caught lifting cover
