Check out the "zumo". It is a Nuvi-like product line from Garmin specifically for motorcycles.

A huge problem with using the Nuvi on a motorcycle is that the Nuvi is not waterproof or weather resistant.

Never had one, but just found a motorcycle mount on Ebay for a buy-it-now price of about $25 plus s/h. Search for "Garmin nuvi 660 motorcycle." Perhaps seller will vouch for accuracy.

Can the Nuvi can be used with a motorcycle mount if it is put in a ziplock bag?

I saw recommendations for the suction cup mount but be very careful where you put it on the bike and make sure to tether it to either yourself or the bike somehow. I lost a brand new hero2 on my first ride out using the suction cup mount so I don't trust it on a motorcycle, but I've seen it on others. Your call. But like I said, tether system is HIGHLY recommended.

I have only ridden a mountain bike with this. I read another review where they suggested they used it with a motor bike. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Probably not, just OK for bicycle riding, I don't think it would satisfy you for motorcycle use.

i guess so have not tried this, just being truthful. just use mine for music on my bike.

The mount is for a mask strap the you use to go under water with. I would not recomend mounting to a motorcycle. The vibrations would cause funny distortion in the video. I would use a head strap or something like that to mount it on. Although I do not ride motorcyles nor have I ever ridden a goldwing. Good luck.

Well I do not know about motorcycles, but they soldered well for the wires on a Xbox 360 disk drive and had no problems with short circuiting at all. I think for it did a good job with small electronical parts. Hope that's help

I would not recommend this unit for a motorcycle. First, 90% sure it isn't waterproof or water-tight. Second, the display is easy to read in a vehicle cab, but would be hard to see on a morotcycle. Third, the control buttons are pretty small. Not bad in a car, but would probably be hard to press while riding.

I use it in my helmet on my Harley, and it has plenty of output. I do use ear buds rather than the included headphones, better with wind and helmet issues.

There is no auxiliary audio output to connect anything to. The internal audio is loud, but probably not enough for a motorcycle.

As of right now I'm using the stock radio and it works well. I do have a nice Sony I've been thinking about mounting and if you look around you can find an adapter so you can still control the radio from the handlebar. I would suggest also getting the small tweeters from Hogtunes that mount around the Road Glide gauges.

It should work with any motorcycle as long as the handgrip is normal size. This one works perfect for me. It doesn't get in the way, and it definitely helps eliminate cramps in the arm or wrist. Best money I ever spent.

I bought this for my son to use when he rides his Motorcycle. I bought a band that works with or without a helmut to mount it.So I guess you could use it on your head

Sure! IF...you can use speakers on your motorcycle that are amplified by themselves (the radio only has enough audio power for headphones...) There are many brands available.

hey Bob - yes, the motorcycle advantage is that the unit is waterproof and large buttons (for using w/gloves). it works just fine inside the cab of a truck or interior of a car too - you'd just need to mount it on your windshield or setup a dash mount... michael

Sorry bro, I got it for us with my motorcycle. Hit a dragonfly with my face at about 95 and felt like I got shot so... Good luck.

I'm not sure. We didn't use the unit in our car recently because of the antenna needing to be in a spot to pick up the signal. It may be better on a motorcycle? It does need some kind of speakers/headphones though to be used.
