Ouch! :/
Yeah, probably not doable on the R1 but have you tried deflating the rear tyre to slide the DX1000 round the wheel and reflate with a mobile compressor?

It’s not my bike, it’s from FB. On my RS it fits around the rear wheel no problem.
Just to follow on from this.
At work and home I rarely set the pin, it can be hard to remove if you move the bike to engage it. However, if I am parking on a street, I put the bike on the centre stand and rotate the wheel until the pin sets - it's much easier to unlock this way
I stopped using it on the centre stand, it gets interesting if you roll it off the centre stand without taking the pin out !
I was worried about that so bought a start button cover off AliExpress for a couple of quid. It’s bright yellow and I only put it on when I engage the roadlock so it’s my very obvious reminder to unlock first!
That’s the trouble with ‘Tricky to use’ or ‘Annoying’ security measures…. Bods give up using them.

I've never managed to get it off the centre stand when it's engaged - only tried twice!! Hence why I set it before leaving the bike - lift the front a bit to rotate the front until the peg sets. Takes seconds, and is a doddle to remove..
The work car park is gated and only accessed if reception let you past the big spiked gates. However, I still fit it to the carrier.
At home, the road I live on, is only accessible via a narrow gap for pedestrians, cyclists and those of the equine persuasion, otherwise you need a gate code, or lift it 5' (after carrying it 600m) to clear the gate, as the bike won't fit through the pedestrian etc. access point.
I have managed it twice !
Still wouldn't have been possible to remove a DX1000 with that cut spoke. Obviously something much smaller used in that instance. A DX1000 would work fine on that bike if attached sensibly.
And that photo is obviously doctored in some way, there's a black diagonal line which isn't a real object, and floor visible through a silver part next to it, so something doesn't add up, though the spoke cut itself does look real.
dosent stop a lift into a van though mista!Agreed, I think .
Got a good alarmed Abus disk lock but use a Litelok and strong noose chain if overnighting in non BMSBIFP

Good luck with lifting a 365 kg Wing
True, but it can happen with any vehicle. Combine harvester theft is a growing, what the fck! No fight back, weak gov. and a market for stolen goods. Do my best to protect my shit.
But I do understand when somebody just had enough...
