Motorcycle specific GPS

Does anyone have any suggestions for a motorcycle specific GPS?  I have been using my phone and a Garmin car GPS on the bike.  The Garmin has been acting up.   They don't tend to hold up well on a motorcycle.

I picked up a old ass tomtom rider one to replace my car Garmin I was using. I knew it was dated and had its line of issues but I wanted to se how I liked it before I dropped big money on a newer one. It has all the basic functions the newer ones have like blue tooth to the sena and preplanned trips upload. But I find I don't like it for many reasons. I still go to my phone 99% of the time. I keep it on my bike as a back up and or a secondary unit but don't use it much.

I have a Nuvi in a SWMotech weatherproof pouch on my bike for now, but it doesn't BT to my Sena and far too dim to see in direct sunlight.  I'm going to buy a Zumo660 soon, which should solve those problems.  Read a lot of good about all the Zumo model Garmins,  so it really just depends on the features you want out of your GPS and how much you want to spend

This is how I feel about it. Any iof the motorcycle specific ones are good now. So pick tour features. For me the huge one would be the ability to create routes in a computer, then transfer them over. Preferably from google maps.
