You don't have to go all the way to the full keyless operation to add RFID security. They started out selling RFID based ignition cutoff systems before they ventured into the full keyless systems and for the money they are probably the best investment you could make.

With their standard system you could walk away and leave the key in the ignition and still come back to a secure bike. The RFID based relay blocks the ignition system so even if someone tried to start the bike with the key it's ain't going anywhere.

Just a thought for those who have the latest generation of Vic without any security built in.

I tried this system and decided to go with the Scorpio 900i

It is wireless, has motion, bump, proximity sensors and will allow you walk away or approach your bike to operate. You still require a key to start the bike, open or lock gas door, open or lock glove box and most importantly, lock the steering head.

So, why not go keyless? Because, all the above applies to the keyless security systems as well, you still need your key.

You need a key to lock your steering head. If you don't lock it, you leave your bike much more suceptible to theft via lifting to a van, etc. So whenever it is parked you still require a key. The trick with the Scorpio is that it works without using any buttons, just being close to your bike disarms and being further away arms your bike. Why is that better? You still require a key, so why not install the only system that Victory dealers across the US agree to be the best, with fewer falses, few returns, and high quality.

Just a thought

Where so you get that line of BS from? I don't think Victory dealers agree on much and certainly not on security system as most can't even spell Scorpio.

Where you missed out here is when you talk about not having to push a button. The DGD is an RFID proximity device. That means all you need to do is get it withing 10 feet of the bike and the security system (relay) deactivates. Walk away from the bike and after 20 seconds of the RFID transmitter being out of range the system activates. There is no simpler system on the market than the DGD.

Sure, you need the key for lots of other things so going to their full keyless system is a waste of money IMHO but their basic security system is easily as secure as the Scorpio or any other ignition cutout device and in fact, since it replaced the main system relay it's impervious to hot wiring which your Scorpio isn't.

You may like the Scorpio better but don't try to feed us lines about it being better or more accepted, it's simply different.
