Great Motorcycle Radar Detector
5 Stars
Great Motorcycle Radar Detector
I have never had a radar detector before but felt like I needed to get one. I was not sure how to use one or even where to get started. I have a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S and it is a very powerful motorcycle. Because of that power on acceleration I might overshoot the posted speed occasionally. As far as ease of use you literally just plug it in and it starts working. No need to even read the manual. When it beeps and the detection gauge goes up assure you are adhering to the posted speed. I know at least one instance it has already saved me. I have been using the Ram Mount System on all my motorcycles. I got a magnet mount for this radar detector and it is really easy to mount and then remove when I am away from the motorcycle. There is a cord that plugs right into the cigarette lighter outlet on my motorcycle. I really cannot believe how much warning this gives me. Literally miles ahead. Plenty of time to be aware and adjust your speed accordingly. The visual black and white screen on the back of the detector is easy to see even in direct sunlight. With no experience with a radar detector I was thinking this might be a bust but boy was I wrong. I am able to hear the beeping from the radar detector even with my helmet on playing music. There is a volume knob on the side with you can easily adjust. I am not sure I would change anything with this radar detector except I should have bought it sooner.
