I agree with chains. I don't mind a thin one though to add a nuisance to tie both bikes together or put through my jacket etc.

Can't say I've heard issues related with disk locks, so I'm holding onto that concept with some confidence.

I'm probably completely wrong but I understood that with the CANBUS system, if you cut wires and try to start it, the computer will not allow the bike to start. On the BMW you need the matching key and ignition ring.
