What do you expect?
I can tell you from own experiences (being the door opening specialist of our fire brigade), most locks are pickable.
And many as easy as showed.

If noise doesn't matter, a decent Electropick will even open your eyes regarding door lock security.

all locks are pickable
what I didn't like is it doesn't need to be picked, just insert the one tool wiggle aka jimmy and lock opens,  due to internal shield missing. that's too easy.

500-700+ for the electric tool, that thief is big time.

While all locks are pickable, I make mine harder by turning the key tumbler to the wheel side of the rotor, and shorten the key. Hard to attack a lock if you have only an inch or so, and have to work blind.

Hondas don’t need locks. Nobody would steal one.

You may get a alarm secured quality brake disk lock that isn't just "stabbable".

I secured my Fat Lady with a 3G and GPS alarm.
Move it, alarm goes off and I get the news plus position on my cellphone.
Disconnect battery: as above.
To my son : take the alarm's key fob and the bike keys for a trip:
Geofence alarm goes off on my phone and I can deactivate ignition.

This will be a long walk home..  .  Grin
