Garmin Zumo 550. It's designed for motorcycles. It comes with a full motorcycle cradle and RAM mount, as well as a car mount. It's highly shock resistant, waterproof and has great visibility in direct sunlight.
It has built in MP3 and XM radio, and bluetooth capabilities for your phone.
Switching from the car cradle to the motorcycle cradle increases the size of the buttons on the touch screen so it can be used even with winter weight gloves.
The Mapsource program allows you to setup a custom route, and to share that route with others (either online or through their GPS).
All in all, it's presently the best GPS unit available for bikes.
I believe that if I were looking for a new unit, I would look real closely at the ZUMO.
