An anti-theft apparatus that attaches to a shift lever and a foot rest of a motorcycle includes a shackle that is sized and shaped to extend from the foot rest to the shift lever. The shackle has an open end, a second end opposite of the open end, and two elongate arms that extend between the second end and the open end. A locking mechanism engages with the open end of the shackle to lock the shackle into place around the foot rest and the shift lever. A lock plate is coupled to one of the elongate arms of the shackle. A cross bar plate removably attaches to the open end of the shackle and is configured for being positioned between the locking mechanism and the shift lever when the apparatus is attached to the motorcycle. When the apparatus is attached to the motorcycle, the motorcycle shift lever cannot be operated, thereby deterring theft of the motorcycle.
