I can be used but it is not preferred as the car device doesn't fit on the motorcycle as well and the voice instructions would be difficult to hear. They do have a motorcycle version but it is slightly more expensive.

Yes, the Garmin Zumo does require batteries. It comes with a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It also comes with the cord necessary to charge the battery.
Zumo is mostly designed for a Motor Cycle and as such is water proof because it might be exposed to the elements. The Nuvi units are more designed for the car.
Although one may find a slight variance in prices for the Garmin Zumo, it has been found that the manufacturers suggested retail price for this navigation system is $649. One may find one on sale or possibly purchase a used one at a slightly lower price.
Garmin is not a brand of a motorcycle gps unit, but rather a brand of any gps unit that can be used for any automobiles, rather than just motorcycles.
Zumo was created in 2001.
No, it is not safe to use a Garmin GPS motorcycle while on your bike. Motorcycles are already dangerous enough with out distractions. The GPS would only distract the rider.
The features of the Garmin Zumo 550 include: it is uniquely produced primarily for motorcycles, has a 3.5 inch display, it is easily portable, has Bluetooth capabilities, High Bright display to allow for reading in direct sunlight, and has a sensitive receiver with 10,000 tracking points.
Not all Garmin motorcycle GPS units are bluetooth compatible. There are, however, many that are. It is best to read all the details when purchasing a GPS unit. Bluetooth should be listed if it is available.
