GPS for bikes
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.

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 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.

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.
