I have the Radenso motorcycle detector (no longer sold new.) I had to put it on a home made mount. I'm happier with the mount , than I am with the detector. I've got a Marc Parnes warning light that helps tons. I can't see the readout in the dayight, and can't hear the sounds over my earplugs.
The V1 has a loyal following, and I have no experience with them either way.
I'd be hard pressed to not find a detector with bluetooth connectivity, so that you could pair the detector to a headset. The Sena bluetooth adapter thingy doesn't work well for me, due to fairly constant riding and parking.
Good lock to you.

Motorcycle Radar Detector
I have an Adaptiv Technologies TPX 2.0 and have had no issues. The nice thing about this device is that it is simple, has large illuminated buttons that can easily be activated with gloves on, is waterproof, has a visual and auditory warning, and can be secured with a top quality, vibration-free mount. I'm sure it's range and performance are not what the best automotive radar detectors offer (I have a Passport Max 2 for car use) but I can't think of a situation where you need two or three miles range. I'm very happy with it.

I too have an Adaptiv Technologies detector. It is on a shelf in my storage room. It is a good detector. But: 1) I don't do Bluetooth - no such headset. 2) I don't do wired helmet speaker. 3) It is not loud. 4) So I can't hear it. 5) I look down the road, not at my radar detector. 6) I can hear my Valentine 1 even at 80 mph. 7) So I run with my Valentine 1.

Or in the alternative, get a bike that can exceed even the west Texas speed limit.

This is the place to get the latest on radar detectors.
Uniden R1/R3 seems to be the latest and greatest the last time I looked.

Invisible
Is it invisible to the person with the flashing lights when they ask you do you know how fast you were going?

Beltronics RX65. It's served me well between bike and car for three years now. The display color choices are red or blue; I found the latter to be less of a distraction especially at night. It's not waterproof, but that's what a good ziplock sandwich bag and a zip tie is for!

Ski, when you're listening to music or talking to someone on your Sena, what happens when your radar detector starts broadcasting? Will it immediately cut in (take priority) over everything else? Although I have a Sena, I've been using a single earbud hooked to my RX65 for alerts. Kinda primitive with all this BT technology!

I use a V1 through a Sena SR10 to my Sena 20S. I get instant alerts and the sound is overlaid over the intercom without interrupting (on my SMH-10, it would interrupt the intercom). Works great. I had a Legal Speeding HARD before this which didn't work as well (too bright at night, too much lag).
I have a Escort Max in my truck - it is a great detector but it is pretty fragile. The V1 is a better bet for on the bike, just remember to turn on the Junk K filter setting or it never shuts up.

It's a pain in the A$$ but ,if you set up the priorities correctly the Radar Detector WILL override in any other input. I have the NavV, BMW sound system, and my phone set up and all are working great.
