Invest in the best for your bike

You just had breakfast, brushed your teeth and put on your riding leather, it’s cold outside so you put on your balaclava too, pick up your keys from the hook in the kitchen, kissed your better half goodbye and went on to the side of the dog that seems more willing to go out than you. Helmet in one hand and bike keys in the other, you close the door behind you and slowly turn to where you parked your bike last night after you got home from work. Maybe it’s the sun in your eyes? But you can’t see the bike, you look some more… the sudden chill of realization runs down your spine. It has been stolen in the night and you have no way of knowing who, when or how. But it’s gone. Knowing the statistics well, you realize that it is unlikely that you will see it again or, if you do, it will no longer be in the same condition.

It’s every motorcycle owner’s worst nightmare, but there’s a way to protect yourself against it, so you can sleep easy knowing your bike is protected from theft.

In 1985 a company was created specifically for motorcycle safety and to help protect against these types of events. Datatool was a pioneer in motorcycle safety and one of the first companies to bring electronic safety to motorcycles. Datatool have produced a range of Datatool alarms designed to keep your prized possession as secure as possible. There is a range of six Datatool alarms available, each with a host of impressive features that will benefit you and your bike.

Let’s take a look at the Datatool ‘Cat’ and ‘Super Cat’ range of alarms to highlight the available options and customer benefits. They are designed to fit into a small and tight space, ensuring that they are not only out of sight, but also nearly impossible to tamper with or remove. The problem of heavy and bulky shaped keys has been avoided by using a small remote control, in case this remote control is lost (which let’s face it, can happen!), the owner can override the PIN. When the winter months arrive, many of our devices start to lose their way, but Datatool’s alarm has built-in ultra-low current consumption that helps save battery life.

Datatool alarms not only fit high horsepower bikes, but also those with engines up to 125cc are covered. Benefits include a two-button key fob and a fully adjustable motion sensor to provide the desired level of protection. Having invested in a Datatool alarm, we can be proud and happy for years to come knowing that we have greatly reduced the risk of theft. With this being the start of our journey towards safer riding, we can now look forward to more accessories to improve the overall safety of our motorcycle, providing peace of mind.
