How easy is it to hot wire a bike? 

Bridge two female connectors in the ignition connector
on mine. I did it with a pair of pliers to check when
I lost the key. It now works off a toggle switch in
true race fashion.

Some may not be this easy. I understand (from Champ)
that the ZXR expects lower than 12v across two terminals
and so it needs to have a resistor in there to work,
but then all you need to know is which value resistor
and it's just as easy.

Encoded ECUs seem to be the way - they take a number
given from the key and if it doesn't match the bike
doesn't start. As it's built into the ECU there isn't
much you can do to bypass it.
