I've installed a Gorilla Alarm on mine which uses a key fob type remote.

Remote start? Pass thanks. Because my safety and well being depend on a bike's condition I like to give it a visual overall check before starting, except perhaps when just stopping to fuel up. When returning to the bike after a meal or shopping I do a ritual inspection, a quick glance at the ground underneath for fluid leaks, look at the tires to see if they appear to have lost pressure, chain slack, and does anything look amiss from somebody tampering with it. That's all supplemental to my preride complete check of the bike. I imagine that for me, a remote start might have me forego my ritual and thus miss something important.

I suspect I'd install a remote start about the same time as a back-up warning beeper/camera and lighted vanity mirror. However I do wish http://www.jcwhitney.com/ still carried Winky the Cat. I'd put that on all my bikes.
