Stepthroughs and dirt bikes get stolen most. The first because you don't need to have much of an idea how to ride to ride one, the second because it's easier to ride through the park to get away from the police. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

How about one of these:

Sub-125cc, low seat, they won't know how to start or ride it, and it won't be fast enough to make a quick getaway. |

Or park an old caravan (which can be had cheap if they are fucked) in your allocated space, put it on axle stands with the wheels off and park the bike inside it chained throught he chassis.
Should be said that people will steal just about anything. My Jawa 350 was stolen three times. They dumped it shortly afterwards but they still stole it. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

That's also a good idea. Worth thinking about.
In the part of the country where I live, councils don't stoop so low as to do anything useful. But it could be worth a try, in OP's case. I remember there was a bit of a busybody around these parts (he's dead now) who used to ride a moped, and he was always on the council's case. He created a weird localist political party, became a councillor and got a lot done. Did they hate him, though... When they reported his death, the local paper (connected with local bigwigs) couldn't resist having a go at him, saying he had pretensions of being a journalist when he was really just a blogger, and hardly anyone attended his funeral, that he had a pauper's funeral, etc. They were really quite mean. It would surprise me if there were still such characters around in the world of today, but that doesn't mean there aren't any... Anyway, I digress. |

This is quite possibly the only bike that will never get stolen (or sold)....

I'm actually wondering in the current day and age if a bike with a kick start only and a manual choke is going to be the way forwards.
I'm trying to imagine the carnage that would result from your average 50kg ratboy trying to start an XT500 in a pair of sketchers. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
