Are we kind of limited as far as what units are sturdy enough to be mototcycle mounted? It seems that the TomTom and the Garmin Zumo are the only 2 that are motorcycle specific? I'm just starting to look into this and would appreciate any input.

 

The Zumo works great, is weather and vibration proof. I'm not sure how many more choices are necessary.

 

Not really true, You can still find Garmin 2610 (which I got refurbished) and the 2720. Both made for the the bike (waterproof). You can get these refurbished normally for under $300.00.....

I like my Zumo and its very easy to use. The 550 comes with bike and car mount.

 

I was able to play with some of the Garmins today but they didn't have a 550. All seemed really easy to use. Couldn't get the TomTom to even turn on and there were no salespeople available to assist.

 

The Garmin Quest 2 is a motorcycle type andis the same unit HD flogs and 100's cheaper! It's good but I would go with the Zumo if I had to do it all over again.

Exactly what I did. Picked one up on Ebay for $204.00 Shipped. Used the Garmin mount but adapted it to mount using the mirror mounting hole on my Street Glide. Works out great and won`t brake the bank.

Ride Safe,

Ijust pulled the trigger and purchased the zumo 550 20 minutes ago.Every body seems to like the zumo the only thing i didn't care for was the price $629.00

 

The 2610does NOT have the MP3 player function...right?

 

amazon has the Zumo 450 for $529, its like the 550 but without the Bluetooth and XM capability, I don't use those features anyhow. Its another option if you want to save a couple bucks and don't care about those features.
