I have an 03 ST and think it is great.  Alarm included.  The Datatool 
alarm apparently has four way flahsers, and from the look of the 
instructions probably also makes toast and can mind the children - but 
working out how to get it to do these things with carefully crafted 
presses of the two buttons on the remote control is more than I've been 
able to do so far...  Mine has shown no sign of breaking down, but I 
imagine if I ever did I'd not have the manual with me, and / or would 
fail to remember what to do to get the flashers working.  Or if I did, 
I would probably end up disabling the motor or something at the same 
time.  Also - I am unsure if it is technically possible, but in the 
practical universe turning on 4-way flashers while also attempting to 
ride the bike would seem a bit of a challenge.  Yet using lights in 
this way (e.g. to alert those following you of impending traffic queue 
etc.) is a much more common application (in my experience).  A big 
button on the handlebars would be rather more useful on all counts.
