Bike Theft in the UAE - High Risk
UAE resident bikers will probably be aware of this but visitors might not. There has been a recent heavy spate of bike thefts in the Emirates and the thieves have not yet been caught. Dubai has been the main target but Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah have also been targeted.
The type of bikes stolen suggests that they will be exported or stripped for parts (and then exported). Most are sports bike but not all. My XR400 was also taken.
If you are visiting the UAE avoid at all costs leaving your bike(s) out overnight. And, no, a chain or two won’t help. These are not casual thieves.
