Use an alarm for your bike no matter the cc,
also use a cover for the bike as well as this increases sensitivity in the alarm by making the cover and bike tamper proof and reason I post this is simple I have had many bikes all with alarms and 1 with a cover the reason I now use cover is not just for preventing weathering is also that if someone tries to uncover the bike this makes the alarm sound more.


another reason I use this combination of security is because someone round my area kept on pulling off my petrol line, this was costing loads in refilling.


so to save you from this same disaster please do as i described to ovoid this problem.

Ground anchor is one of another useful for security of motor. You just have to place it near by your wall and lock the your motorcycle to the ground. But don't install it in the middle of the garage.

Actually I am looking for some security devices for the car security because I just lost a my car before some days, but I also share some statics about the bike theft which a my friend share with me
Only 26% of stolen bikes are recovered with the majority having suffered major damage.
80% of stolen bikes are taken from the owners home.
50% of riders don't lock their bike. 60% of bikes stolen are broken-up for parts.
so must use some thing for the bike and car security.

What about a chain and a padlock? Do you think that can secure the bike enough?

I'll go out on a limb and say that a chain and padlock would be sufficient to discourage most potential thieves. My feelings have always been this -- a professional bike theif who steals motorcycles regularly is going to get your bike if they decide they want it, regardless of what security measures you've deployed. Period. But the other 99.9% of potential bike thieves will be turned away by even the most modest of preparations.

I can place a lock through my disk brakes( back and front) through disk.. That would stop most thieves. But say three men stop a pickup and just pick up my scooter( weighs 330 lbs and not evenly distributed) so it is pretty heavy. But anyhow, for under $10 I can buy a motorcycle alarm that has its independent power source and from touching the scooter, the alarm will go off. So the alarm goes off, the thieves cut wires to power source( motorcycle battery) but the alarm keeps going off. They search and can't find it, thus leave quickly. The alarm is produced by China.

Report of National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), show that there were 70,613 motorcycles stolen, in 2005. so don't be lazy and must lock your bike,There is a Abus Power Chain Double Loop 37 is a chain that is looped at both ends which could give you nearly the equivalent of an 8 foot chain without the extra weight of the longer chain because of this double loop design. May it prove useful for someone.
