By far one of the best investments I've made in my Adventure arsenal of tools. The XM Weather radar is worth every penny. I lead a lot of riders and this gives me access to see what the weather is doing, which allows me to make good decisions on where to ride. The XM radio is a nice little bonus for those long periods of slab. The gps is just like the 660, you just get the bonus of the XM weather, which I think is crucial to a successful ride.

The zumo did not work well out of the box. The device shut off or froze up numerous times. After updating, the unit a appeared to work fine, but I was not able to use extensively before I had to leave. I connected my phone via bluetooth, but found the out put voice to be poor quality. Unsure the reason for this, but know it is not headset, since the J&M bluetooth provides excellent voice quality in and out. I purchased the zumo with Touratech mount. The mount is excellent and a must have for the wing. I gave the zumo 665 three stars, but the mount gets five stars.
