Asking yes or no to a gps on here you get a lot of different opinions just like you have gotten. My thing is and this goes for anything you can put on a bike is just remember its your bike. you can put on anything that makes you feel comfortable on that bike and screw what every one else says. as for me i plan on getting a gps for the last thing i do for my bike.

I love mine ... takes all the stress outta trips having a route set up and just a glance down. Using HD's ride planner couldn't be easier to create a route on some of the most "road less traveled" routes you can fathom and then just download them to the unit. Just be careful about those "gravel roads" ... arrrg.

I have an iPhone, but if I didn't I'd probably get a cheap GPS.
I like to go and get lost on back roads, so I'd need some way of getting unlost.

GPS is great. I don't have a MC specific one. Just use the one from the car. When my girlfriend and I went to NY over labor day, She was on the back holding it telling me where to turn and whatnot. Would have been easier to have one sitting right infront of me, but it got us to where we needed to be...
