Default Best moto alarm?

Hello all, I'm looking for a alarm for my 954rr. I'm not to concerned on the price. I just want a good alarm, preferably one that plugs in for the most part. I want all the goodies with bells and whistles with a pager. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
FINCH

Take a look at Scorpio and Gorilla. Just google them and go to the manufacturer websites...they should have all the current models listed. They are pretty much the current goto expensive do-it-all brands.

I just bought one on eBay because I'm cheap...I bought a chinese type alarm that has all the bells and whistles but is 73 bucks instead of 300. No doubt build quality won't be as good but meh....im cheap.

I just bought a Gorilla 7007. It has all the features as the 7017 minus the pager alarm. I've heard that having the pager feature will drain your bikes battery very slowly because it is constantly having to put out power to the antenna. Mine was $75 through amazon. It has a shock, tilt, and current sensor. I already looked at the .pdf for the instructions. It is very simple to install. Its pretty much plug and play. Power, negative, and a couple wires to run for the LED.

But, I'm still waiting on it being delivered. So I can't say how I like it or not.

the scorpio i900 is pricey but thats what i went with and it works great. all it plug and play minus a ignition/fuel kill. just gotta tap into one wire.

the 2 way pager works great and ive already had it go off and walked out to my bike to see a car driving away late at night. proxy sensor is very sensitive but adjustible. already having one bike stolen its a peace of mind. that and a big friggen chain though the swing arm and around a light poll.

took about 2 hrs to do from pullin into the garage to pulling outa the garage.

I will be going with the scorpio. Although if lojack has a pager system now i will be looking at that as well.

Here is a good video for the scorpio.

If you want both an alarm and a tracking recovery device take a look at the Scorpio i1100. In addition to everything that the i900 has it includes a tracking device that the police can use to track down your stolen bike. The pager system has an unlimited range, GPS maps and other features.

I have the i900 on my bike and I like it a lot. For a bit more I could have had the i1100.
