Best and easiest was the Gorilla Alarm with pager.

Hooks up to your battery, you can be totally done in under 30 mins...if that.

Okay range, very sensitive...good for warning off the amature criminal and other meddlers. Not a substitute for a wheel lock.

Best is Phantom Tracking (GPS with 24 hour monitoring).

Easiest is just about anything on the market (check out the Scorpio line?). Most hook right into the OEM wiring harness, so you don't even have to do any splicing or anything. Just Google motorcycle alarms and find one that seems good enough for the price. I am the first to admit I am not very mechanically inclined, but I was able to install one without any problems on my old bike.

Now the Phantom Tracking on my current bike was a completely different story and I had to pay a certified installation tech to install.

best = phantom tracking. they monitor your bike 24/7 if the bike moves, they call you. if you get crash, they call ambulance. dealership needs to install this. very expensive + monthly payments (10-20 bucks for the monitoring service.)

easiest to install - scorpio alarm which is very user friendly (at least for me). i have one in my r1 and its good. range is not great if you have a lot of buildings around you. get the whole shbang - permiter sensor ,ignition disable etc etc.
