I have seen those. I'm a little concerned about the weight on the mirror. I used to suction mount that came with it. It would turn loose so I bought one with the big suction cup. It falls off too! Got to find something else I guess.

Just ordered a V1 today. Cant wait to try it out!
I bought the V1 for a few reasons...
1) The arrows
2) I have heard from numerous sources that it is the most sensitive to all bands, especially laser.
3) I dont need the speed camera/red light database because my state doesnt have speed cameras and I dont run red lights haha.

DO NOT buy the k40. It's junk. I paid 900 for the bluetooth with laser jammer and it was complete junk. Sold it for half the price and bought an Escort 8500x used for 100 bux. What a difference. Last weekend my gf and I were going to San Francisco. Cops all over the place, Ka band was going nuts. As the sun was setting the Escort suddenly goes beserk with a warning I have never heard before. Cop was hiding behind a bridge with a laser. She was going like 82, immediately slammed on the brakes because the warning was so intense. I wonder what the cop thought lol. Didn't get pulled over though so I was very satisfied with it after the trip.

It mounts right up to the passenger visor bolt. Works perfect.

I have been using a Beltronics RX65 Professional on my Goldwing for the last couple of years and have been very happy with it. The Beltronics seem to score well in reviews and shootouts.
I did a 48 state ride in 10 days last year (occasionally over the posted speeds
) and it saved my bacon and wallet many times. I am looking for a good mount for my new to me 99 'vert.
YMMV

Same one I use on my 9500ix and I love it. The suction cups suck, pardon the pun. Anytime my car got hot the darn detector would be lying on the floor.

Here is a great article. You will see that they are very close in detection, some are better in different areas then others but all close.
After reading this, I am leaning toward the Escort 9500ix, I like the GPS for memorizing grocery stores and the red light information. Not that I would ever run a red light, but when you have that choice to speed up or slow down when it turns yellow, I seldom choose to slow down.
Quick read but good information.
