Is the CT100B's bare bones design more prone to theft?

by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views7 comments
With its simple design and a lack of advanced security features, the Bajaj CT100B seems to be multiplying its chances of theft. The CT100B doesn't have a built in anti theft system like more expensive motorcycles, it uses basic key ignition and mechanical locks. While this simplicity is what makes it so cheap and easy to maintain, it may also make it an easier target for thieves. Because CT100Bs are a popular bike, and spare parts are widely available, stolen bikes could be quickly transformed into another popular bike commonly bought for modification purposes – easier to sell or strip for parts. However, this low resale value just might do more to deter thieves from focusing on this target for one that's more profitable. That has triggered an argument over whether owners should have to fork out more for extra security measures, or whether the bike's lower price means a higher risk of being nicked somewhat offsets this.

The concern lies in the lack of security features, but it’s reflected in the price. You get what you pay for.

The thief is not about the bike. A thief can steal any bike, be it a CT100B or not.

It was stolen out of my hand within a month of purchase. I wish Bajaj would add some basic anti theft features.

I believe it’s more a matter of where you live. Nobody cares about bike theft, in my small town.

It’s a double edged sword, the simplicity. They’re easy to steal, but just as easy to install aftermarket security devices.

It is definitely easier to steal. I always use an extra chain lock, just in case.

I've never had theft issue. In fact, its low value makes it less attractive to thieves.
