I went to Tiger Direct and bought a refurbed Garmin 5" screen for $112 and bought a small clamp that fits on my handle bars, and there you go.. a motorcycle GPS.
Dont let anyone tell you that it will get messed up because of vibration or whatever, ... I have 2 bikes and each one has shared the GPS for almost 4 years in sun AND rain (Cover the GPS with a ziplock bag) and I've been problem free till today.
Seriously you can buy 6 GPS for the same price as one of those Garmin Motorcycle GPS's :)
I have a Garmin 750 and a Garmin 1140 or whatever its called (cant remember the model) but they both work great.
I've also got them hooked up to my motorcycle using a Cigarette Lighter plug, one positive wire to the battery, one black wire to a ground and boom you have power.
Enjoy!
