Motorcycle
theft continues to be a major problem for insurers in the
U.K. Organised gangs are operating in all areas - the majority
of thefts occurring from the owners home.
Thatcham is the insurance companies
appointed body responsible for setting vehicle security standards.
During 1999, they began testing and approving motorcycle security
systems. If you install a Thatcham approved system to your
motorcycle you can expect to receive a premium discount from
most insurers.
We have arranged the lowest prices in the U.K. and the convenience
of a nationwide mobile service.

When bikes are stolen, thieves walk them down the
road to the waiting van. Rarely is the bike 'fired up'. An alarm
section is required to draw attention to the movement of the bike.
Thatcham MC2 systems do not have an alarm section and are therefore,
not recommended.

Electronic Immobiliser Category

2 Transponder pad
LED
Failsafe twin circuit immobilisation
Passive arming
This system is probably the best
of the bunch and is very reliable. This said, there is no
logical reason to install an immobilisation only system on
your motorcycle - fitting an alarm section provides far better
protection.
