A shot gun loaded with riot rounds is always helpful.

here are some Ideas (listed from best to worst) from the ninja250.com 's FAQ page:

Once you're done riding, you may want to secure your bike. Motorcycle theft is rampant, particularly in urban areas, and particularly of high-value or lightweight bikes. There are a number of options available for making your bike harder to steal. These are listed in order from most to least effective. All are available at your local motorcycle dealership or shop. Each is rated on a scale of 1-5 stars, and an approximate price range for summer 2006 is listed.

Garage [* * * * *] (price varies considerably): if you can park your bike in a garage, secured or not, it's likely to be fairly safe. This is the same "they can't steal it if they don't know it's there" theory as the bike cover, but many times more effective. Obviously a secured/locked garage will be safer than an unsecured one. For the ultimate in safety, sink a heavy metal hoop into the garage floor and use a cable lock to lock the bike to it.

Bike cover [* * * *] ($5-250): a bike cover, whether it's a $5 tarp or a fancy purpose-built cover costing way more, is a great theft deterrent. Unless motorcycle thieves are completely indiscriminate in your area, a cover makes the bike less attractive. They don't know what's under there exactly -- it could be a clapped-out 1982 Honda, or it could be the world's fanciest bike, but it's probably not worth the distraction of removing the cover to find out. Particularly in combination with a good lock, a bike cover is about as good as you can do to keep your bike from being stolen short of putting it in a locked garage.

Chain lock [* * * *] ($50-100): several companies make chains specifically for locking up bikes. They're usually a heavy, 5-6 foot (2 meter) chain mated to a small, sturdy lock. These are at least as effective as cable locks, but are usually stronger if the thief decides to try breaking the chain. They're also heavier to carry around.

Cable lock [* * * .5] ($10-80): a heavy cable lock (1/2" or 10mm thick cable or thicker) is a versatile way to secure a bike. You can use it to chain up the wheel to the frame, so the bike can't be rolled, or you can use it to lock the bike to something solid. Locking through the frame to something very solid like a lamp post, bicycle locking hoop, parking meter, etc. is the best practical way to keep your bike from being stolen. Make sure you lock through something which can't be easily removed with common tools.

Fork lock [* * * .5] ($0): All modern motorcycles include some way to lock their forks to one side or the other. Use it. Use it every time you park. On most bikes this is an incredibly easy step to take, and it's remarkably effective at deterring theft -- the bike has to be physically picked up to be stolen. This is about as effective as a disc lock, but it's already built into the bike, and you'll never forget it's engaged. Use the fork lock every time you park.

Disc lock [* * *] ($30-50): these are little locks that look like heavy duty single-hole punches for paper. They are intended to go through a gap in your brake disc. They're nearly impossible to remove without doing severe damage to the brake disc, but they don't prevent someone just picking up your bike and loading it into the back of a truck. If you use a disc lock, make sure you have some good way to remember it's there. Many retailers carry a coiled plastic cord which stretches up to the handlebar to remind you the lock is there. Suffice to say that taking off with the lock in place can result in embarrassment as well as damage to your braking system.

Alarmed disc lock [* * *] ($80-150): Some disc locks also include an alarm, which is a questionable addition, since it adds $50 to the price and all you get is an annoying squealer. Might prevent you from doing damage to your bike if it goes off before you gas it with the lock engaged.

U-lock [* * *] ($10-100): A U-style lock would be very effective at deterring theft, if only you could actually fit it around something solid on your bike and something that's bolted down. Remember that wheels are relatively easy to remove on most bikes. A stout cable lock is more likely to be useful on a motorcycle. Avoid U-locks which have a Bic-pen-sized barrel key, they're freakishly easy to pick. If you know for sure you can fit a U-lock around a solid part of your bike and hook it up to a solid object, it gets 4 stars instead of 3, but they're usually too small to be useful this way.

Bike alarm [*] ($80-400): many companies sell motorcycle-specific alarm systems. These are generally good for a sense of security, and not much else. They'll keep casual thieves away, but as you have doubtless noticed yourself, when someone's car alarm goes off, most people's reaction is, "damn, that's annoying," without checking to see if that car is actually being stolen. Your bike will be no different, so an alarm will only be useful if you can hear it and respond to it. Look for an alarm with a remote pager to let you know when the system is going off. Otherwise, avoid alarms as being expensive, annoying and not very secure.

Brake lever lock [no stars] ($40-80): this is a little C-clamp-like device which pulls the front brake lever toward the handlebar. Avoid these at all costs -- all the bike thief has to do is cut the brake line, and whammo, free bike. If you just want to clamp the front brake, look for some kind of velcro strap or similar arrangement to do the same job.

Any of these methods can be combined with others for more effective security. A thief who sees a cable lock, locked forks and an alarmed disc lock is very likely to move on to an easier target. Really, that's all you want. In particular, an alarm becomes a bit more at

Absolute best motorcycle security system is a BIG MEAN DOG.

Get yourself an intimidating dog that will bark at anyone approaching your bike and I will bet good money that you have no more problems.

Why does this vision of some kid running to beat hell, minus his saggy pants --- and a big old dog sitting smugly on the pants licking his chops come to mind???

try the scorpio alarm . it also might be listed as scorpion. Search scorpion + alarm. I have one on my bike. they are self contained more or less and don't take up much room, They have a perimiter sensor that when someone gets close, the alarm will sound. They even have a model that is two way. It beeps your fob when someone knocks your bike your in the perimeter.a half mile away. Expensive but nice, mine cost two fifty without the two way. It's also easy to install yourself

Find the nearest bunch of hard core bikers...the kind with shaved heads, hairy backs and hair on the backs of their hands. Tell them you'll buy them a couple kegs of beer if they find and destroy the guy messing with your bike. Your bike will be safe from then on, the bikers will be happy and buying beer will be good for the economy.
