Radar detector

I need some advice. Have any of you guys used a radar detector on your motorcycle? If so, what do you recommend? I want one for my vmax. :cowboy:

I think they are pointless. Traditional radars, which are rare these days, even back in the day did not require a warm-up... once detectors became common cops just started leaving their radars off until they wanted to ping a vehicle. These days ladars are so common, and from what I can tell if your detector is picking it up, you've already been tagged.
