The Zumo is designed to withstand the vibrations encountered on a bike. I have read about several of the cheaper units out there failing after a short time due to the vibrations.

Both good points but I don't think I could see much of the display if I wanted to...much less going down the road...besides with the Bluetooth weather/traffic it talks to ya and can plot a new route...

I researched for about a year. It came down to 2 choices.
TomTom Rider or Garmin Zumo 550. I finally decided on the Zumo. Hadi it mounted on the Ultra and I love it. Pricey, but is weather proof and has everything you need. GARMIN ZUMO 550. Nuff said.

I have used the ZUMO 550 since last summer..
Hard to find much wrong with it.. Garmin kicks ass in the GPS market.. The zumo is designed for bikes.. I've been waiting on a powerlet outlet, and techmount, for the ultra. Just got it today. No external wires from the unit..

Dang it! I missed by an hour. Now I'll never know what you meant. Question: Are there two different Zumo 550's? Sometimes I see it advertised with XM, and sometimes there is no mention of it.
