I have 2 in my kitchen and a cr500 in the bedroom
@andrewj1680 if I owned a cr 500 I'd have it in bed with me making sure it's warm lol but serous question those things can't be light how do you get it up the stairs I couldn't imaging getting a pitbike up then never mind a beast

I wouldn't worry about a steering lock too much. Theives break them with little effort. In my opinion the best cheap theif deterrent is an alarmed disk lock. Nice and small to take around with you, but packing a loud enough siren to wake yourself / the neighbors up.
TDR 125 - 2001

@mightyman keep in the house or
could not agree more but my rs was taken with one and no one heard a thing everything is only buying time so steering locks are worth having thou i mean really worth having if you think about it -
Thinking about one of those trackers for my TDR next year when it's on the road for this very reason.
Already had scumbags hanging around back of work when bike arrived from eBay. God bless those chavs!

The best and most cost effective defense against thieves with regards to portable bike locks is a quality disc lock with a built in alarm, such as the Xena or Oxford brands. Plus a throttle/brake lock, such as the Croc-Lock. Both are small, light and easily tucked away somewhere like a back-pack, or a jacket pocket. And also they are far more portable than lugging around a big heavy chain. Plus they lock the wheels and stop the bike from being moved, with the exception of it being lifted away with a lorry crane of course!!!

I was thinking a twelve gauge was bette...
@nottsbiker LOLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Only if you catch the douche-bags in the act!!!

it's really about what measures and expense you're willing to go to
I personally would not waste money on a Croc-Lock though there as useful as a bath chain -

@cyber-ninja no but it's a bit obvious if they're not taking your bike in a van there probably not really that bothered about the bike or how they get away with it
they could just cut the brake line twist the throttle till it stuck open and use clutch or just break the lever so this won't even stop opportunists disc locks there good shit but if I was carrying more than just a disc lock which I do then it would be a chain and lock disc for opportunists chain to slow the van men down or the experienced hooded thugs with a grinder -

Agreed and if they want your bike bad enough they will go to extreme lengths to get it, like using an angle grinder on your locks, as you have stated. And not everyone wants to lug a big heavy chain around with them each ride, which makes a throttle lock more convenient. So it's all about slowing the toe-rags down and making your bike harder to steal than the bike next to it. Probably the best deterant is to only park your bike in the most public of places. Which would increase the risk of them getting caught and hopefully make your bike not worth the Muppet's taking the risk in the first place.
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

@cyber-ninja not really they're getting bolder because they usually get let off without charges so they get caught minor inconvenience they get away they get a beatiful bike you just have to look at the real problem
