This is a good/great GPS, the only drawback is the Satalite Radio does not work good on a motorcycle that is loud. My K1200S with the baffle removed on a Remus Powercone is very loud, especially when your doing 80 mph. from Amazon.com I purchased the Zumo 550 after seeing something very similar at the Harley shop for a good bit more money. My decision to make this investment was based on several experiences where I got lost and almost ran out of gas. from Amazon.com Zumo works great, however, the item was incorrectly packaged. They had two car mounts, instead of 1 car mount and 1 motorcycle mount. from Amazon.com The zumo arrived in a timely fashion and works great. We use it every time we ride our motorcycle. from Amazon.com The Garmin Zumo does everything for motorcycle, car and mobile GPS (yes runs on built-in rechargeable battery too), with the exception of two features - limited to Bluetooth version 1.0 (which means no A2DP protocol for streaming stereo music), and its not geocaching-friendly. It is built ruggedly; water-proof, shock-proof, large buttons (for using with motorcycle gloves), touchscreen, plan routes using MapSource on your home PC and upload to Zumo, all kinds of informational screens (including fuel guage - for bikes without one), capable of connecting XM antenna for streaming music and/or weather and/or traffic (with subscription), plays mp3's and even displays album art, can use SD card for music storage, Bluetooth connection to cell phone which displays contact list and allows dialing and displays caller. from Amazon.com Ok, go ahead and beat me up...... I don't own the zumo so how can I write a review? Well, I do own a GPS - for my car. from Amazon.com GARMIN 010-00567-00 Zumo 550 GPS Receiver Picked this puppy up on anticipation of a bike ride from Washington State to New Mexico, into California and back. Features I like include: Inputting miles/tankful - about 20 miles before this "endpoint", warning comes up, also a gas pump icon. from Amazon.com I love the garmin. The same day I got it it went on the bike. from Amazon.com I originally bought the Garmin Zumo 550 for my father for his birthday. He attempted to set it up, and spent over an hour on hold with Garmin. from Amazon.com I've had this for about three years. It works like a charm and is as solid as a rock. During the cold weather months, it resides in my SUV, but in the motorcycle riding months, it makes sure I get home when I'm wandering on two wheels. from Amazon.com
