Default Bluetooth head unit

Thinking of going with the Sony DSX310BT. Can anyone tell me why you would need Bluetooth on a motorcycle?
Torn between Bluetooth & non Bluetooth.

Just another way to stream music instead of using a cord to plug it into the head unit.

I use bluetooth for my GPS & phone. Of course I took the radio out of my Road Glide since I don't have any use for a radio on a motorcycle. You probably have a different point of view.........

Synced to phone, which gives me phone, GPS, MP3. It's the wrap around head phone type, so I've got stereo and can hear it over the exhaust.

If you have an iPhone you can play music from your phone with it in your pocket.
