Just kidding.
You will get many opinions here. My vote goes to the Zumo 550 or 450.
Maybe a used one or refurbished to get better price.
Good luck.

I have the Zumo 550 on my RG and it's great!

RE: GPS
As someone else here mentioned, they'll all get you there, so you need to research size & features. Garmin.com is an excelent web site for their features, & I'm sure other manufacturers have sites for their units. For use on a motorcycle you really do need a waterproof unit. After that look for features that you will use, & features that make the unit user friendly. After you decide what units might meet your requirements see if you can locate that model at a local Best Buy, Circuit City, Boaters World, etc. Get an idea of how large they actually are & where it will mount on your bike. Pay attention to screen size, you want as much as you can get without blocking other instruments. Narrow it down to 1 or 2 units you like, then google those units for price or shop ebay, craigs list, etc.

RE: GPS
The Zumo is designed for a motorcycle but it is a high cost gps. I have the garmin 2610. I have had it for 2 years. Got it when the 2700 series came out with a bargin price. You can still get the 2610 new for around $200 +- but if you have enough $$$ consider the zumo. Personaly I can't justify the extra cost when I use it very little. Mainly for food, motel/hotel, fuel, and finding a place of bussiness in a town/city I am not use to.
The zumo prices are starting to drop though.
