Default Best alarm system?

So what do you guys think is the best alarm system out there right now? The best bang for the buck? The most expensive one?

I got the one from INTERNATRIX. It is sponsered on this site. It works very well and has pretty much the same features as the really expensive ones. 2 way paging and such. I like it for the money...

Ive got scorpio i500 and I love it! The pager is small and beeps and virabrates has alot of functions! has shock and microwave and the other usual stuff. It also has a function where if someone did start it (impossible) and started to ride off and you couldn't get there in time to stop them wit a bat, you can press a button and it will kill the motor! Really good alarm(pager)!

What is the difference between the scorpio and the internatrix besides that one is 1/3rd the cost of the other.

BEST ALARM SYSTEM IS COMPRENSIVE on insurance ! an alarm system isnt going to stop someone from stealing your bike if there smart, it will stop the idiot gangbangers but not the proffessionals .... just get comprensive and you dont have to worry!

You still have to worry. The insuance companies arent the easiest people to deal with and there are stipulations to it

True the alarm will not stop anyone but it would be more noticable to the public if the bike was being stolen. Also, some insurance companys give a pretty good discount for haveing a permanantly installed alarm system.
