This lock is made for police, fire, hospital, and airport security use, but is ideal for locking up your jacket, helmet, and tank or seat bags. Light, fast and easy to use. One end terminates in a no-scratch, vinyl booted, aluminum sleeve that protects a recessed Ace cylinder lock. The other end of the flexible, nylon covered, β7 over 7β stainless steel aircraft cable, releases. The 4mm cable is hard to cut and small enough to thread through tight places. The lock is hard to break.

Securing Light(er)weight Small and Medium-size Motorbikes.
Big heavy ugly chains.
For somewhere bad you need to leave your bike on a regular basis station a large, expensive hardened chain at-the-ready, around something. Just leave it. The heavier and uglier the better. Huge good quality hardened steel chains take a while to cut thru with a battery powered angle grinder. And this makes a fair amount of noise and sparks. (Bicyclists who need this level of security rely on hardened βUβ locks. About the same level of grinder-resistance in a semi-carry-able package, which unfortunately is pretty hard to work with on a motorcycle.)
Big fat ugly cables.
Not as good as a big ugly chain, but a lot lighter and easier to carry. They can be cut with either an angle grinder or bolt cutter fairly quickly, though.
Light and medium weight cables.
Pretty fast to deploy, easy(er) to carry, and enough to keep honest people honest. The precoiled bicycle types are a bit harder to thread through stuff compared to a straight cable, but lots of riders like them.
Folding bars.
A newish compromise. A bit harder to boltcutter snip than a cable of similar weight. And still cuttable with a grinder but again, plenty of sparks. Easier to carry than either a chain or a cable. More βthreadableβ than a U lock. Maybe one of these will help you secure your scoot to a nearby trash can or street sign post?
