Are you alarmed?

Do any members have views on the optional Trophy alarm? Specifying one knocks around a tenner off my annual insurance premium - therefore saving me £30 over my predicted three year ownership of the bike. However, the cost of the unit far outweighs this, adding £270 to my bill. The bike has a standard-fit immobiliser, so do other members see any value in an alarm? Would my money be better invested in an insurance add-on that pays out my total investment in the case of theft, etc? Thanks.

I didn't bother with the alarm..... have never bothered with an alarm on a bike. As you say..... insurance savings do not justify the cost, the alarm saps the battery and nobody pays any attention to an alarm going off anyway! The immobiliser is what will stop them taking off with the bike and you get that as standard!
Save your money is my advice

Save ya money
Gap insurance £450 for 3 years
Didn't know I'd bought it until they gave me the new bike and it wasn't transferrable. Cheque should be in post back to me
Dealer told me to bring the cheque in and they will sort out again on new bike "DON"T THINK SO"
Better in the bank for Spain trip me thinks

Had an alarm on the MV which just sent the battery flat until one day the alarm just turned the bike off and would not let it start. I easily disconnected it and took it off which is supposed to be difficult? I would not bother. I do like the fact that the TT has an immobilser but of course makes the key expensive. I did get a non NFC key cut (based on a Volvo key I was told) somwe could use it for top box and panniers whilst on holiday.

I didn't go for the Triumph alarm. Instead I have a disc brake alarm that immobilizes the bike and sounds a piercing shriek if disturbed. It costs about $60, is transferable from bike to bike, has its own internal power source so does not drain the bike battery and qualifies (at least here) for the alarm discount. I sleep better at a hotel knowing that it is on the bike

Miss that is an interesting set up. Very interesting. Did you find the install to be difficult? How would you rate the difficulty 1-10 with 10 being extremely difficult.

I design trackers somhave trackers on the bikes. It charges up when running and runs on internal battery when not. Another by product is that I can review the route afterwards. I am interested in the proximity one miss is talking about. I have just designed one but for a closer distance.
