Motorcycle radar detectors are in high demand, and a performance radar detector is as equally valuable on your motorcycle as it is in your car. With the use of an inexpensive motorcycle radar detector mount, you can direct-wire install a detector for a motorcycle in as quick as 20 minutes. When you're researching for a future purchase of a motorcycle radar detector, its ease of use is an important factor. It is inconvenient when you should have to reach over and fumble with the radar detector when you should be enjoying the ride, and it may also cause a major safety issue. Picking a motorcycle radar detector with efficient laser protection should also be on top of your list; since motorcycles, with their large reflective headlights, they are a prime target for laser threats. Currently, there are three models to choose from when shopping for motorcycle radar detectors, two of them are made by Escort, the Escort 8500 X50, and the Escort Solo 2. One, is manufactured by Beltronics, the Express Cordless 946. Escort 8500 X50 (SRP $299 - 339.95 USD) This handsome unit usually comes packaged with a case and a special Smart Cord, enhanced with a built-in pilot light, alert lamp, and a convenient mute button. Escort Solo 2 (SRP $329.95 USD) improving on their designs, Escort took the Passport 8500 technology and packaged it as a "cordless" unit. The Solo 2 did not only inherit the accuracy and programmability of the 8500, but also has the same upgradeable microprocessor. What sets the Escort Cordless Solo 2 apart from the other detectors within its price range, is the accuracy, distance, and functionality. You avail long-range protection from all kinds of radar and laser band utilized in the U.S., gives incredibly fewer false alarms, and a tiny portable package that runs on just two AA batteries. The brilliant LCD display is so easy to understand and recognize which band is detected. Customizing the Solo 2 can't get any easier. The ten programmable options allows for the adjustment of the Solo S2 to your unique driving style and the settings will remain, even when you remove the batteries. The cordless design, which weighs only 1 pound and 6 ounces, makes the Solo 2 easy to travel with and transport from one vehicle to another. Beltronics Express Cordless 946 (SRP $149.99 USD) sensitivity over the span of the entire battery life, and the 3-stage Low Battery Warning notifies you of how much power is left. If no buttons are pushed, or no alerts are received for as long as one hour, the Express Cordless automatically powers down to lengthen the battery life. While the Express Cordless 946 is a good cordless detector for its price, if you're searching for a cordless that can be compared to a high-end plug-in model, then it is highly recommended that you purchase Escort's top of the line detectors, such as the Solo S2.
