Ok, hadn't thought about it in the past few weeks since getting the scoot, but have now realized that my "smart" security system, must not be all that much of a genius since it isn't arming at all. Checked for the light...nope. put the keys in the kitchen...both of them...some 35 feet and 5 walls from the bike (surely that's sufficiently far) and she starts right up no problem.
Anyone else have this issue with their '07 security system? And what was the fix?

Are you sure you have the security system...Mine arms as soon as I shut the bike off.
Mine does the same thing. Just about when I take my first steps away from the bike the turn signals start blinking to show its armed.
I tried to start it a couple of times and found that the fob needs to be inside of about 7 or 8 feet for the system to disarm. Past that and its like the off/run switch is off. The lights may be on, but no one's home.
What he said, and get the siren and pager. Well worth the money.
Stopped by the dealer for a sale and had them look at the security system. Turns out they had not coded the fobs to the bike....nice. all fixed now though
