The GPS won't hold all of Europe so unless you want to keep installing different areas get the SIM card version. I usually buy a new SIM card every two or three years to stay updated on changes in the roads. If you buy the SIM card from the right place it should cost you less than $125.00. I think the last one I bought was through the AAFES mall but I don't remember the vendor.

looks like someone beat me to it but yeah awesome set-up. powerlet sell handlebar mounts that accept ram mounts. personally what i am gonna do is get the powerlet handlebar mound with a ram mount designed to hold my phone. then im just gonna get a car charger and use it like that. i personally dont have a need (or the money) for a full on motorcycle gps. not to mention i never really need one haha.
