I gotta agree about the commercials, but instead of paying for XM another alternative is to just collect copious quantities of MP3's and put them on a flash card (if you have a player) or CD (using bike's HK stereo, if you have one). I have enough MP3's that it would take months to hear the same song twice.

Ipod, no commercials, great music that I like (well I put it there so I hope I like it), and no monthly fee.

I have the Zumo 550 with XM, Weather and Traffic...like it a lot. However, the Zumo doesn't use XM for navigation.....the Zumo will function just fine without XM.....

All I have to say is go to Maggie Valley in the mountains and try to find something to listen too, you will wish you had satelite. I was there and mine broke I could not stand it. Thanks for the tip!!!
i don't have sattilite radio but do have relatives next door to ghost mountain in maggie
valley and you only get maybe 2 radio stations and 3 tv stations unless you get it piped in somehow. probably is a good thing while traveling

I'm not sure what you'll need to add XM/Sirius to the OEM head unit, I'd guess HD makes an add on reciever that you'd stuff in the fairing.

I'm going totally aftermarket with a Pioneer head unit and Pioneer XM receiver...much less expensive that way and more versatility IMO.
