Is there an easy way to tell which bikes have an OEM immobiliser ?

A list / insurance site / years / models ?

Buying and selling bikes and the cost of a red / replacement key - it would be handy to know

I've tried googling and it's hard to find out even on specific models

People get a bit paranoid with the cost of red keys etc

Just sold an ER6N with one key which is how it came in, Google suggests that they didn't have immobilisers but it wasn't clear

I have an same with most 2000-2010 ish bikes half the forums suggest it does have an immobiliser, half suggest it doesn't

I would have assumed there was an insurance industry list somewhere or similar

If you're selling a bike without an obvious immobiliser key/serial then maybe the solution is have another cheap blade key cut.

When you try it you'll know if it's got an immob, and if it does then at least the owner has a way of unlocking it etc to get a new lock set fitted without breaking it.
Really I need to know before I buy them, if I've bought it without a red key (for example) it's a bit late
