Hi all
Maybe it was the excitement of the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Saturday, maybe it was the weather, whatever the case, earlier this morning I put down a deposit on a new BMW F800 GS.
I've bought an ex demonstrator that was registered in March and has done a couple of thousand miles. It comes fully kitted out with all the extras and I figured the mileage wasn't too much of a drama...
However, the one thing that it doesn't come with is an alarm. Currently I use a datatool on my CBF and it's lasted well for the 24,000 miles/3 years that I've been using it. BMW won't move the device across to my new bike and they've offered me a BMW alarm instead. Are they any good??

One of the things I like most about the BMW alarm is that you don’t have to set it every time you switch the bike off. It does give peace of mind when you switch it on and so far, mine on the K1200S has been very well behaved, with no false alarms, but when doing things like parking on a ferry, it is good to not have to set the alarm.
