Autocom is great. I was even able to wire it up to get power myself (doesn't sound much, but it must be easy if I can).

The bike to bike radios we got are the cheapest Motorola ones and they are more than adequate distance and sound quality wise.

Definately worth the initial investment

Does anyone use a throat mic. I find these along with a covert ear-piece (https://www.wildtalk.com/accessories/acs-throat-mic.htm) work great.

They are difficultish to position correctly, but when you do, they are fantastic, I've only got a 125cc so can't talk about speed, but I've been walking across motorways (on bridges) and past hydraulic drills and the other person has asked why I'm shouting, and the covert ear piece completely fills the ear canal with a piece of rubber, meaning it's practically sound proof. And because they are covert, you can leave them in if you go into the shop or something

Just an Idea if you have the money to spend

how much are they?

Well, without the radio your looking at about £50 pound, the radios though are expensive, lucky to find one for under £100, because they're professional radios, and you need to make sure you have the right adapter for the radio.

E-mail them and see. I used this in the military and so don't know how much they cost for civilians.

These use similar technology, but I find the sound quality, on both ends aren't as good, but i connect this to my mobile

I tried a throat mic but the wind noise was awful. I tried it under my balaclava but the rustling noise from the material of the balaclava was just as bad as the wind.
I presently have a 2m (ham band) radio for the bike but can't be arsed using it despite making a fantastic audio/ptt kit for it.
