Just bought the Garmin road tech zumo. Very simple even I can do it. So far so good. A little pricey but I found a dealer who needed a sale...if you know what I mean.

I bought a Garmin nuvi 760 and can use it in the car or on the bike. It's a lot more inexspensive than a pure motorcycle GPS. Also bought the ram mount on eBay.

I'd suggest getting one made for a bike, there is a lot to be said for electronic devices designed to hold up to vibration and rain. I have a Garmin Zumo 550 and love it. If you decide to go with the Zumo, I don't recommend the HD Road Tech version. In branding it for HD, you get fewer accessories and lose the 'home' button on the main screen. You can get the Harley Dealership file for free online and lets be honest... how often do you search for a dealership you don't already know the location of?

Tiger Direct has a refurbished Magellan Roadmate 1200 (3.5" screen) on sale for $59.99. Refurbished has the same manufacturer warranty as the "new" units.

I'm trying to decide between getting one of these cheapo models to how much I'll use it on the bike or maybe spending a little more for extra features. They've also got the Garmin Nuvi 360 ($154.99), which has Bluetooth to work with your cell phone.
The Magellan Maestro 4250 is on sale for $119.99. The 4250 has basic voice command, which means you can give some commands via the microphone rather than typing them in. You can see the product video for more information, but it's basically a system that allows you to select points of interest with voice.
I may even step up to the Nuvi Garmin 760 or similar model so that I can get Bluetooth and MP3 capability. The 760 is selling for $210+, depending on shipping and where you get it. Costco (www.costco.com) also has the Nuvi 780 for $249 (after $100 discount).
