I'd like to see that too. The new 450 is getting affordable and doesn't seem to be dumbed down, just lacks a few bells & whistles I would never use. Anyone use one yet?

Every review I've read pretty much raves about both the 450 and the 550. I'm just wondering how -bad- they look on such a naked bike.

I have one on my S3 with a Techmounts mount. I can take a pic later today at the garage if I remember.

In any case, I can tell that it is not pretty. Kind of like a third mirror sticking up from the middle of the handlebars.

A bit cleaner install would be possible with a short mount, but I prefer to have the GPS on about the same height as the stock gauges, so I do not have to look down for the GPS.

Thanks Martin, would love to see a pic! Is the "short mount" included with the Zumo?

Do you have the 550? Would you buy it again?

OOh nice thread, still speculating if i should get me one.

Not to really drive from a to b allt he time but to drive somewhere unknown and make it back to a. Also nice for traveling since the 550 has a complete map of europe installed.

I'd love to see how you got it mounted!

I had mine mounted to my S3 for about 15-minutes before undoing it all.

This bike is too darn naked and it just made the Zumo look huge, very out of place and also scream "steal me" and I'm talking about the mount (also have the XM antenna option)not the device.

What I've found works best is the good 'ol Garmin Quest2 with their handlebar mount placed between the riser clamps. Keeps it very flat and almost invisible on the bike, of course it doesnt begin to have all the features or screen size of the Zumo but it works just fine in a last generation kinda way.

Holds a nice long charge also so you are not forced to wire up the bike for power if you choose not to.

The Zumo is splendid, just not a good fit visually or physically with a bike as stripped as this.
