Got a Viper 200 for mine. Designed for bikes and jetski's.
Good alarm, waterproof remotes, 3 channels.
Have mine hooked up with a mercury switch (tilt protection) and has a closed loop wire for protecting luggage/helmet etc.
Also connected to a remote start unit.
One problem. The immobilising onboard relays may play up on you. The busa generates a shit load of vibration at high revs. I had mine immobilised through the kill switch and at around 9000 rpm, the relays would open circuit for a split second. This was just long enough to cause a huge flat spot in engine power and trigger the F1 light (don't want to be mid-corner and have it happen)! The starter motor may be a better immobilising point (keep in mind that it can still be push started - but not with a disc brake lock)
The fact is that electronics don't like vibration and will eventually fail.
Still worth doing for the deterrence factor (and remote starting gets a good responce from onlookers). Also get a good wheel lock.
But unfortunately if someone want's you bike, nothing will stop them.
