Here's one man's opinion on selecting a GPS for the bike/car
Gotta have MP3 player and FM transmitter for easy interface w/Ultra's stereo (wireless)
Gotta pop out of the mount and into my pocket easily - in flight if it starts raining!
Gotta be a price performer cuz by next year something else better will be out!
I bought a Garmin Nuvi 785T. Has Bluetooth too so you can at least see if you are getting a phone call if you pair it to you cell phone. Paid in the $175 range... It is also a discontinued item mainly because of the traffic service being taken off the air sometime in 2011, if I remember correctly. The traffic was not as important to me as the MP3 player and FM transmitter (and Bluetooth).
Bear in mind it is NOT waterproof - so you 'takes your chances' on that front.

I got the Zumo 660W. It is water proof,they say. Has the latest stuff. Finially found pretty good price on web. You just have to search I found pricing changing almost daily. I think any of the wide screen models would work fine, may need to keep out of the rain.

I have the Zumo 550. It has XM radio and MP3 playback as well. I mounted mine on the Kuryakyn fuel door mount. I also swap it into my car. It came with the car mount with speaker.
Well worth the $ even if you buy a used one on Ebay.
