Read down far enough and it mentions that it is for Buells also. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/garmin-harle y-davidson-team-up-offer/story.aspx?guid=%7B9060AD 3C-F341-4AB6-9429-49E8E45F8BC1%7D&dist=hppr | ||

I'm curious... I am planning on shelling out for a Zumo 550 but wonder what advantages would I get with this one over the 550? Is it going to be a better price I wonder? How much are the 550's in the US and where could I get the best price? | ||
| Krassh |
It is a 550 rebadged Zumo, the only benefit is the pre-loaded dealerships. | ||
| Krassh |
I am sure you can find one for less than $895.00 out on the free market. http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/produc t.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=2&CategoryID=7&Produ ctID=4256 | ||

$601.00 Here. http://www.preferredphoto.com/viewproduct.aspx?ID= 3541653&l=Froogle | ||

that's a great price there krassh. of course i'm always leary about ordering stuff on line, especially electronics. so i would wonder how legit this place is. i found out from my daughter that the buell zumo now featured cost them 639 plus you add 10% and tax and that's employee cost. so you couldn't go wrong with a 601 price. | ||

I bought mine from PCNation and the service was among the best I have ever had for an online purchase. Electronincs (in my personal experience) are a lot like cameras. I buy LOTS of Nikon equipment and if I see someone pricing stuff much below J&R, Adorama and B&H I know there is something else going on. If Adorama id $4,999 for a De and Broadway photo has it for $3,500 I know the deal is literally "too good to be true". I buy LOTS of stuff on line and was thrilled with PCNation and the Zumo 550. | ||

DO NOT GET FROM PerferredPhoto.com! http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Broadway_Phot o Got mine from PCnation like court, it was $650ish back in march, currently $646.80 http://www.pcnation.com/web/details.asp?item=6G033 0&GEN0=Y I am waiting for the Buell/HD Zumo to hit the dealers, to see what mounting equipment and junk it comes with. | ||

If it sounds to good to be true. . . . I'm driving through Brooklyn the other day . . . guy is coming toward me in the other lane/direction, flashing his lights and waving out the window for me to stop. I pull along side him and he points to the back of the van and asks "wanna buy a complete home entertainment system with surround sound cheap?" I told him . . . as I picked up the Motorola walkie-talkie on the seat "I don't need one but let me check with the guys at the Precinct". End of meeting. Fact is. . .it you are buying a Zumo MUCH cheaper than Amazon or PCNation you've effectively had the "caveat emptor" horn blown in your ear. | ||

What Court said about PCNation Fast service, good price, no issues YRMV | ||
| Orangeulius |
Hey Court. Was the guy driving a white van and sporting a gotee? Exact same thing happened last week here in Knoxville to one of the guys I work with. Makes you wonder if it's a national scam or national sting. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
so even if it is 649 through pc nation, it's still a better deal than through my daughter with her discount. | ||

PC Nation has a "presence" in Illinois so I would have had to pay the eight whatever percent state sales tax here. Buydig.com also has pretty great reviews and does not have to charge sales tax in Illinois, so I got my 550 from them earlier this year for $648 delivered. The box arrived in about three days! even though I chose the free shipping option which was supposed to take longer. I think you get dinged for sales tax by Buydig if you live in Jersey, but you should confirm that yourself (of course). | ||

Just load the Buell/HD POI's you need into (just about) any GPS... http://www.princeton.edu/~blong/waypoints/ No need for them to be built-in... Thanks Xbenign --- 08Uly Uly Data Page  (Message edited by 08uly on August 05, 2008) | ||

Buell Zumo Prior to buying either the Zumo or the Buell Zumo fo to Zumoforums.com and do a good bit of reading/searching. Especialy if you are interested in XM radio. The Zumo XM interface IS NOT STEREO and does not support Bluetooth wirless. Expecailly be cautious if you have the Nolan N Comm communications package. We sunk in excess of $1,000 into Helmet, N Comm Basic, N Comm Blue Tooth, Zumo 550 and XM30. Long story short, did not work worth a Hoot. YRMV Buells to Alaska Alcan 5000 2010 | ||

The Zumo 550 bluetooth is not stereo for any application, not just the XM. I like the fact that it will play audio files (music, whatever) but I bought it knowing that if I wanted to listen to music in stereo I'd need to be wired to the device. Before the end of this riding season (December?) I plan to get a Scala BT system for navigation prompts and (hopefully) rider/pillion communication. I'll try to keep the board posted with my results. | ||
| Buelldualsport |
Atoms Yes and No The Zumo will provide stereo for Mp3 but not XM. Nolan N Comm bluetooth is twin speakers but not stereo. J&M Corporation have a replacement system for the Nolan N Comm system that is Bluetooth Stereo,, but the XM still is not stereo. Looking forward to your comments an success with th Scala.

I just did a quick google search initally and the cheapest that showed, normally I go look on nextag. Looks like preferred photo is one those sites that have rock bottom prices and try to sell accessories at inflated prices. Also gray market devices. If I was acutally going to order I would have done some more research. http://www.nextag.com/serv/main/buyer/ProductM.jsp ?shipping=Ground&sort=total%2Csubtotal%2Cnull&unit s=1&ptitle=510639965 Compare PricesRead 1 ReviewWrite Product ReviewPrice History Seller Seller Ratings Description Price Zip: 92325 change +Tax & Shipping TruePrice DigitalMEGAStore Trusted Seller 439 Seller Reviews In Stock $628.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free Best Value* $628.00 Go to Store iBuyDigital.com Trusted Seller 918 Seller Reviews In Stock $629.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $629.00 Go to Store BUYDIG.com Trusted Seller 923 Seller Reviews In Stock $629.97 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $629.97 Go to Store BEACHCAMERA.com Trusted Seller 637 Seller Reviews In Stock $632.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $632.00 Go to Store TriState Camera 322 Seller Reviews In Stock $629.95 Tax: $0.00 Ship: $8.90 $638.85 Go to Store navguys 1 Seller Review In Stock $659.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $659.00 Go to Store BMBrooks New Seller In Stock $661.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $661.00 Go to Store Comparemaster 24 Seller Reviews In Stock $662.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $662.00 Go to Store TheNerds.net 303 Seller Reviews In Stock $653.99 Tax: $0.00 Ship: $9.99 $663.98 Go to Store 17StreetPhoto Trusted Seller 78 Seller Reviews In StockSame Day Shipping! $655.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: $14.50 $669.50 Go to Store BPAV.com 42 Seller Reviews In Stock $681.00 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $681.00 Go to Store Trusted Seller 615 Seller Reviews In Stock $646.80 Tax: $50.13 Ship: Free $696.93 Go to Store Adorama Trusted Seller 339 Seller Reviews In Stock $699.95 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $699.95 Go to Store Tiger GPS 15 Seller Reviews In Stock Refurbished $699.99 Tax: $0.00 Ship: Free $699.99 | ||

Buelldualsport, Is the XM not in stereo even if you use wired headphones? I reserve the right to reconsider all of this when the XM/Sirius merger goes through and the pricing gets hashed out, but for now, for me, XM is not worth the cost. | ||
| Buelldualsport |
Wired yes | ||
| Court |
The XM is stereo on headphones Mono on bluetooth. I use headphones and love them . . just need to figure out how to get a mic for the phone. It really works okay now. When I get a call it pops up on the call ID on the Zumo and I know, at my next stop, I need to return a call. I am trying to figure out how to send/receive text messages.  | ||
| Froggy |
Court: He figured it out! | ||

Does the Zumo work with a mac? I had the greatest ride the other day and have no recollection of where I went. I **think** it's stored somewhere in the Zumo and I'd love to repeat the route. | ||
