Do 1100s & 1150s have any form of OE factory-fitted security, like an immobiliser or alarm?
1100/1150 Standard/Built-in/OE Security?

Because he is a "Northsider" over here
. I have always had an OEM alarm fitted to my 1150's. 
My initial gut reaction to this was, why do you ask that? But I then copped that you may have thought I was a thief doing some homework, so understandable and fair enough. I'm not a thief, I assure you.
As Luke points out:

While I'm in an area some might consider less prone to crime & bike theft, I did have my (unlocked & non-alarmed) FJ12 stolen from in front of my house some years back. I found out who took it (local-ish scum with a lot of experience in their trade) and got it back, but it had been abused and I never really loved it the same afterwards
Once bitten, twice shy, etc... My next serious bike (Firestorm) had a Datatool alarm/immobiliser, RiDE recommended chain & padlock, RiDE recommended U-lock, two decent disc locks, kept in a shed with two padlocks on concealed-hasp thingies on the door and a ground anchor concreted under the shed floor (with a hole in the shed floor to access the ground anchor), in a garden with two padlocked bolts on a hefty self-built gate...
I've had a fair bit of life happen in the last few years, and I no longer have a garden or a shed, so I'll be doing all I can to ensure my bike (when I get it...
) remains mine...If a GS comes with a factory-fitted alarm and/or immobiliser, that'll be one less concern I'll have.
FWIW, I later heard that my two scum were luncheoning one afternoon, when men wearing balaclavas came in, put a shotgun in one of their mouths, and informed them that they'd recently taken a particular car from somewhere, that that was a mistake, and that they should return the car immediately. That pleased me...
TBH, I often struggle to cope with the many and huge corruptions and injustices in the world, but giving up and not having a bike/family/home/car/guitar/bicycle just so no fucker can take it from me would just suck ass...

It's a shame that scum like you have come across, are aloud oxygen. I would ration it.
My GS11 came with one of these Meta alarm/imobilizers fitted. Seems like a good bit of kit. Maybe one of these would help you out.
Good luck !

A lot of people don't like alarms because they can drain the battery. Can you put up a ground anchor and a feck off chain?

I've just read my post from above......reads like ' Scum like you have come across.....etc', That whole sentance would have been better written by a 4 year old Ooops. (I post to early in the morning when half asleep). Apologies.
It does have a battery inside the Meta, I think that helps solve some of the problems re. flat bike batteries. (I could be wrong, often am)

Yeah, I had to re-read that "scum like you" sentence a couple of times to be sure I was understanding it right...
Well I currently still have my fuck-off chain & padlock, and my fuck-off U-lock, and there is a lamp post right outside my front door...
After watching a video recently displaying my particular chain as bolt-croppable in like 20 seconds or something like that, I may include the cost if an Almax 19mm chain & padlock in my overall budget. In fairness, most opportunists won't be carrying a 4-foot bolt cropper, and I imagine few pros will be interested in the vintage of bike I'll likely be buying.
Not sure about a ground anchor - I'm renting. I might ask the company that looks after the parking if I could fit a discreet anchor somewhere.
