I would be really wary of ordering from them or this group of web companies.

Is that the good one? I know some guys at work that got some Zumo model for their bikes and it's awesome. Very expensive though, $600-800 I think, but the price should be coming down. I need to find out the model number and check the garmin website.

I have no clue, I use TomTom but in a car.  I like being lost and riding  [moto]

There really isn't a need IMO to get one of the fancy "motorcycle" GPS's. I am eventually gonna mount my $220 Garmin 205W on my bike, it has more than enough features for me and if you are worried about getting it wet you could always get one of these http://www.ram-mount.com/aqua_box_mount/aqua_box_mount.htm . Plus it's not as huge as the Zumo, and mine is gloss black so it matches my bike  ;D

you should also consider how Waypoints are made because some are difficult.  I think that's why the motorcycle versions are popular, ease of use and all the backroads loaded on them.  I will refuse to use one personally unless it has blue tooth into my helmet....distracting little buggers, as I found out playing with mine on my bike.  After going over the center line several times she's never been back on my cruiser.
