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

Thx for your input 930. Always good to hear from another VV rider. The Scorpio 900i does arm and disarm exactly the same as your preferred system. No button to push unless you wish to arm or disarm manually.

You are correct that it is just another alarm, they all are. Don't take it so personally, no harm intended, just passing on the info I have experienced and been told by 9 dealers so far.

Enjoy your ride!

I had a dealer install it Breadman. Took a couple of hours, he really appreciated the specific harness which makes it easier. I did not install the ride away/hi-jack module and am sending it back. The idea of a small black module being able to suddenly stop the motor when running is too much for me. I can just see myself in a difficult situation with no power because of an electrical glitch. Having never been knocked off my bike and had it hi-jacked I am happier without this option.

You may feel more adventurous however.

Good luck, you will love the Scorpio, it has no problem doing exactly what it says it will do and not having to push buttons to arm, etc. is great as is the range of the remote.

Cheers

"Shiny side up"!

How did it go?

Great idea Mark! I had no idea.... Next time I won't spend a few hundred $ when so little can do.

Thx for the update.

Cheers
