please keep in mind that this question is from the perspective of absolute ignorance. How prevalent is motorcycle theft? Is there types of places where thefts would occur and finally...how do you secure your motorcycle?
Someplace in this forum is a linky ... but generally no one steals Vstroms.
These bikes are ugly, usually diry and don't have any shiny bits of chrome to rip off and sell.
Most of us do lock our cases sometimes and don't leave farkles like a gps unit so as not to temp any curios kids to steal.
When travelling, if I park in an iffy location for the night I put on and old homemade cover. It just adds to the overall ugly appearance. I own a bright yellow disk lock for the the front wheel but rarely use it.
be prepared .
park your bike in a lockup shed or garage .thieves have the same mindset
all over the world,oppertunistic moraly defunct bastards.
chem set an eye bolt into the floor where you park and chain your bike to it
get a dog,sleep with a gun under your pillow, or just have a good insurance policy.sleep easy and ride that bike every chance you get.
more bike riders get hurt by people they share the road with,than have their bikes stolen.
