All new BMW motorcycles with the exception of the G310R and G310GS are now fitted with electronic tracking devices as standard. The move means BMW’s tracker-fitted machines now qualify for four stars in the MCIA’s recently-launched MCIA SECURED anti-theft rating scheme.
The TrakKING Stealth tracking devices will also impact positively on insurance costs, particularly for customers living in cities and large towns.
Scott Grimsdall, BMW Motorrad UK national marketing and PR manager, said: “As well as helping to deter theft and giving our customers peace of mind, the devices will also help reduce the cost of insurance.”
The trackers add an extra layer of security over steering locks and Datatags on all models, plus immobilisers on every +400cc model as standard. Selected range-topping models also feature alarms as standard, an option that can also be added to much of the range.
