Bike Comms?

Wonda-Boy

What is the best bike comms you can get at the moment for two riders (not a rider and pillion) that will not break the bank. Is there anyone on here that uses a comms setup all the time or quite frequently?

I am looking at the Scala Rider G9 set, but some of the review have been very negative with riders saying they are very buggy and they are not cheap €400ish. I was looking at the shark bluetooth but I dont have a shark lid and aint buying one just for the comms.

Any other units out there I am missing?

Thanx

Your missing the Sena SMH10 and SMH5. I got the 10 to use with pillion but she hasn't been on the back since i got it. Great reviews online but again not cheap

Cheers big ears (joke apologies if you do have large ears!) :pac:

Will have a look at them now, where did you purchase yours from?

-jellybelly-

no apology needed, there regular :P

I actually ordered it from JC motorcycles in USA on e bay. Forgot about postman getting €60 tax off me on delivery but still slightly cheaper than anywhere else. About €300 for 2 headsets. In case you needed this is the reply I got from Sena about the different models as I was confused when ordering. Loads of youtube videos on them.

"Thank you for your interest.
Here's a clarification.
SMH10-10 Basic Kit - Single
SMH10D-10 Basic Kit - Dual
SMH10-11 Universal Mic. Kit - Single
SMH10D-11 Universal Mic. Kit - Dual
So, SMH10D is model name for dual kits and it is divided by a couple of types of packages for helmet. We don't have official part name for SMH10D01B although B is used to call firmware upgradeable models. As for full-face helmets, we recommend -11 model since it has wired microphone. Sometimes, boom microphone is not working in full-face helmets."

Well the scala rider G9's have a (claimed) 1 mile radius so thats no good with smiler going the races, I would need a busa and a heavy wrist to stay a within a mile of him

Nah seriously, most of the bluetooth units are anywhere from 1000mts to a mile. Be very handy when I go to Germany for a road trip too. Even on the spins on Sunday when we out for 5hrs with 10 lads it would be good craic.

There is a place in Wicklow Darren that sells them Scala sets, I think its online as (phonesonline.ie) and leppla said they are based in wickla

Do you know the shop?

They only have a mile range if you've got line of sight. Once you start going around bends/hills/hedges they are no use. In order to get a bigger range you need to have CBs as PMRs don't have enough power.
