I have Starcom1, my brother has starcom1 advance. The advance unit is about half the size of the original, plus it has an option for handlebar mounted volume control. I think that would be nice.

A couple of things, Speaker placement in the helmet is critical. Speakers need to be mounted inline with your ear canals, 1/4" deviation is noticable. The mike needs to be very close to your mouth also.

Bike to bike depends alot on the two way radios that you choose. Best results are obtained with the same brand and model of radios on all bikes.

Since you planning on using it inside a tankbag, the original starcom1 can operate from a 9 volt radio battery which will reduce wires you need to run. Or it could be put in your jacket pocket. i don't know about battery life though. I had mine in a tankbag for awhile. It was fine, but the wires take up alot of space in there so I finally mounted mine under the seat. Your sprint probably has more room for one, maybe inside a fairing?

See you at The Great Smokey Mountain Raid!
