Re: BMW Navigator IV Impressions

I bought a used TomTom One for $50, a Z-tech mount for the R1200 and basically have perfectly mounted navigation for a little over a $100. Do I use it? You bet... The BMW Nav unit is certainly better and cleanly integrated, but it costs a small fortune. I am a BIG fan of nav units on bikes. Paper ma...

Re: How TALL are R12R owners?
