This will not work as key must present within 1m of the ignition module/button. There is more than 1M between back of the box and ignition button.
Beware, your WC GSA is VERY easy to steal.....

Have you tried it I had a GTR1400 back in 2007 with a similar keyless system and it would work from about 8ft away
Yes....

Will it pick up the transponder from the topbox or panniers?

Maybe instead of that old time 1200GS howler of 'where do you fit your tax disc',we'll soon have a 1200WC epic of 'where do you manage to carry your security chain'.
Along with scores of 'recommend me' a lock and chain,'what's the best disc lock' etc etc.

But with a tiny bit of encouragement he worked it out, all on his own. Or at least he pretended to.
Not on my 1600, no.

Good job its an easy mistake to make when the weathers hot pop your jacket in the box and find you forgot the transponder or touring if you mate has your spare one on his bike luggage next to yours.
I don't buy new bikes so I haven't read any sales brochures recently but I very much doubt that any vehicle manfuacturer claims that their security system is any more than a theft deterrent and certainly not "impregnable" . However, that autocar web article does seem to suggest that keyless vehicles could be at risk to professional thieves . Which in some way is not surprising itself really , it's a technology based system and unfortunately technology can often be 'hacked' .
Thankfully, my pound of butter also covers all these imaginative disaster scenarios that might affect the 21st century motorcyclist. In earlier years, it was the much simpler scene of a bikermate putting all his keys into his helmet, gloves on top. He stands to admire the Gorge du Verdon, chilling with like minded souls. Chilling done, he lifts his helmet and..... One glove and his keys discover the wonder that is gravity. Of course the chimp had locked his spare key in his 175 litre pannier, too.
...correct I've never been to one of Att's 'gympfests'
Ironic really as I understand at those a lb of butter was always on hand to aid entry
Shocking . Brings it home how quickly it can happen
Quite easy when poor scumbag made the mistake of trying to nick two ex army bods bikes one day.
When finished with he was sent on a cruise.... in a container..... in his birthday suit
It doesn't just happen in Brazil....a very similar video was posted on here a short while back. Bike was an S1000RR token from a row of bikes in a bike park around a London square .

Oh yeah?
The 'ex army bods' told you that,did they?
I can see them now,spilling their lager and spitting froth as they performed their tactical moves in the corner of a grubby pub downtown.....

No
He must be RAF regiment.........
+1 on locking the bike to an anchor / railing. In my experience alarms are simply not any use. The only thing they might do is strand you when the unit or key-fob fails. Nobody pays any attention to a bike or car alarm going off. I've removed a fair few failed alarms over the years and none have taken more than an hour. That's approaching the bike not knowing where the alarm is etc. OK I'm an electrical and electronics engineer but any criminal scum is going to practice 1st. BMW are very good in their alarm fitting to be fair to them, they don't make it easy. Biggest laugh I had was a triumph thunderbird 1600, side panel popped off, unplug alarm and bridge the connectors. Less than 1 min. My mate had been recovered 200 odd miles to home with that bike after the alarm failed. He's a solid convert to never having an alarm again.
We have one of those already, thank you. At least he says he is; he's probably a geography teacher from Leicester.
Sorry but I think you are being a bit harsh.
The owner was a victim, he wasn't the cause of the crime. The cause is these low lifes who make a living from this sort of thing. Honestly I think vehicle theft should be treated as it was in the olden days, when people rode horses, if you stole someones horse you risked being hanged, although I consider hanging too good for some of this scum
who prey on decent law abiding citizens these days. The police aren't bothered in the slightest, they just think the insurance company will sort it out. Times have changed for the worse, there is much scum within our society and no one seems remotely interested in removing it, a sign of the times I feel.
