The best alarm for around ?200

[Rob W]

I'll be buying a bike soon and after having my last one nicked in January I can safely say no-one is getting near this one. I've already got a ground anchor, 2 chains and a disc lock but I want to get an alarm that'll be good without paying extortionate amounts.

Cheers for any ideas

I have an astradon alarm I'm desperate to get rid of for less than £100. Make an offer and I'll probably accept.

Requires wiring knowedge which is why I can't use it.

i've got a data tool system 3 alarm/immobilisher also. it's very sensative and has deterred many people from further touching my bike. the best thing to do is haggle. i bought a bike from the guys who supplied me with the alarm so they did it for 200. haggle haggle haggle!

Personally from what i have read i'd be buying one with a locator if i could afford it or at least one with a pager...

Allarms make bugger all difference, they will have disabled it within 20secconds and nobody pays any attention anyway, if you get paged you can catch them at it.

If its got a locator your FAR more likely to get it back (*what state it will be depends)

Depending on what sort of scum is going to steal your bike makes a difference too, example, pro scum will break them and sell them, datataging will put them off because its hassle and makes it traceable back to them.

How about a meta tv2? Cost me £200, has alarm and immob all in one, cat 1 rated, and the key fob is quite stylish too.

I ended up with a Sola-larm.

Thatcham approved (made about 100 quid difference on my insurance).

Supplied and fitted by them for 180 quid +VAT

[Sorry about the use of "quid". I'm on an american keyboard laptop. No pound sign.]

They are in Bethnal Green and will fit for 60 quid. Or just buy it and get someone more local to you to fit it. Like someone else said, you need it to be fitted by approved fitters to get the warranty. I checked with Datatool and the peeps selling and fitting these are approved. I'm going to take my bike to them next month and get it done.

You can buy mine off me if you want. I bought it and it never got fixed before i totalled the bike. Its the expensive one, with the remote engine startup and remote Cut-out. The best feature is that it has a voice warning system that says: 'BACK OFF. This bike is protected by a Krypton Alarm'

Krypton Alarms.


£70 inc P&P and its yours

Thanks Fuzz, but it was a users comp. So I tend not to bother changing. I only forget and give myself headaches later.
