They don't add anything to the resale value either.
IIRC, the Varadeo has the Honda HISS immobiliser fitted so they are difficult to steal unless you just stuff them in a van. An alarm wont prevent that. Tell them to get a bloody heavy chain and padlock instead. They can transfer that to their next bike too.

Alarm is only good so that kids don't climb the bike and get burnt on hot exhaust pipes. I started turning on the alarm that was on my bike after a neighbour's kid got burnt.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
