    That's so insane, considering you can get a decent car GPS for under $200.

    I think the fact someone that rides a harley designed something would make me want it less. Cause you know they're fans of overpriced antiquated technology.

    aaand that technology constantly needs to be repaired so you need to buy a back up gps if you actually plan on using it

    The Zumo series isn't really worth the money. The Oregon does all the autorouting stuff, plus it has way more track recording/following features than the Zumo and a way more flexible interface with more options for the information it displays. Plus it's more rugged, and it can be used for lots of stuff besides on the bike/in the car. And it costs a fraction of the price.

    Wayy too much money. When/if my old 2610 refurb dies I'll try to find a used zumo 450 - the new ones are simply too much for too little in upgrade

    20% off with the AMA discount = 800$, what a STEAL!

    I'll be interested to see if they make the GXM-40 backward compatible to the Zumo 660 now or not. If they don't, garmin themselves should actually be kicked in the junk.

    when was the last time anybody paid Garmin's suggested retail ? or even close to it

    I paid $375 for my Zumo450 when the suggested retail was $750

    Exactly.

    Funny part is until this, the Zumo 550 had a higher MSRP than the 660 and that obviously meant very little.

    The price really isn't that bad since it comes with both motorcycle and car mounts, and the GXM40, a ~$260 part. If you want XM on the 550 or 600, you need to buy the GXM30 seperatly at ~$250. Looks like a pretty nice unit.

    Yep. The weather graphic is a must-have if it zooms to local and is
    animated. The NavTec traffic reports are awesome: you can get them
    from the internet on your computer but that won't work for you in
    realtime unless you have mobile internet (and I don't mean cell phone).

    Different strokes. The NavTec database is the best. I would not buy
    a GPS that does not use it.
