I recently purchased a new bike with the value of ~£500. After reading reviews of this lock i decided to invest in the money for peace of mind.
Size: The size of this lock is good; not to big and not to small. I was tempted in a smaller lock for portability but would have been limited to where I could have used it. it also seemed that many of the D-locks were quite big and long. I would place this lock in between. its big enough to wrap around most posts/gates but not to long to be a nuisance to transport around. This will just about clasp over my bike frame, back wheel and a smallish gate/post if I really tried.
Transport: this thing is heavy, but not ovary so. If you can put it in a backpack when riding its fine. It also comes with a mount which you can fix to your bike (this is what I do). The mount and clasp rotate so there are quite a few spots where you can mount it and its quite sturdy, often being difficult to get apart! I have also tried just locking it round my frame when I ride, but its a little big and heavy for this and gets in the way.
I would feel quite safe leaving my bike in town with this lock, let the nasty buggers go after easier pickings with small wire locks. I do however see many bikes with front wheels missing, so perhaps another smaller lock or wire in addition to this would be best to fend off these nasty buggers.
I hope this information helps :)

I decided to go all out and I bought two of these locks. (along with 2x Kryptonite Kryptoflex 4 ft Cable Lock (10 mm x 120 cm) to prevent our front wheels from being lifted)
Remember to lock your U/D-lock around the bike frame, rear wheel and then to an immovable object. Don't use any cables to lock to immovable objects as they are so quiet and easy to cut.
I have learnt that you should always spend at least 10% of your bikes value on locks. While they are heavy and not easy to lug about they will save you the heartache that comes with having a bike stolen.
Also, this lock does not suffer from the old biro pick trick.

Expensive but very good. The most secure bike lock I have found so far. The only negative point is the weight. For general cycling and touring this is not a problem, but I suppose if you own one of those ultra light road bikes with the ferociously thin wheels, and you are desparate to ride from a to b in the fastest possible time, It might be. I recommend this item.

An eyeopener
My son's nearly new (expensive) bike - and his only transport, was stolen when he stopped for a drink after work. The lock at the time was not cheap but obviously not good enough. Read more

Inadequate keys
I would strongly recommend that you avoid this lock. The first time it was used the key broke off inside the lock. Read more

Good, very heavy duty lock with usual poorly-designed kryptonite mount
Okay, about the mount: it is, as others have pointed out, very bad. Its size makes it hard to find an orientation to set it up at such that you can actually fit the D-lock within... Read more

Great Lock!
This lock is great, tough and does the job. The bracket it comes with is a little hard to apply to the bike, but once its on there it keeps the lock steady. Read more
