    I noticed this on twitter the other day, and cannot find any reference to it on here.

    Screaming Banshee | Loud Motorcycle Horns and Safety Systems

    Seems like a really good idea to me, especially as the Blade has such a wimpy horn.

    If it alerts people then all good in my book?

    Video clip definitely worth a watch

    Let me know what you think

    Horns are only good for road rage however loud, if you have time to reach for your horn then you have time to stop, if your stopped then its pretty pointless pressing it but does feel good in rage before giving the finger :)

    They seem good to make people aware that your there when they drift from their current lane, makes them change their manoeuvre
    I personally would feel to embarrassed to press my horn in the "Road Rage" situation as it sounds like something off a toddlers tricycle.

    It looks like a re branded stebbel nautilus horn to me .
    i had one fitted on my car which was nice and loud until it packed in ,which wasn't very long after i fitted it .
    They seize up inside when they get wet and are quite big so not very easy to find a place on a bike where it will stay dry .(i did look before i fit it to the car)

    Looks good but expensive. Plus anyone else watch the banshee promo vid and immediately be reminded of this?
