Hi there Glenn,
Personally I prefer the Garmin units for motorcycle use as they are more integrated (IMO) although to be honest, I don't have very much experience with the TomTom units so I'd be very interested to hear what it is that you like about them.
Of course, like any unit, the Zumo is not without its problems but on the whole for pre-defined routes as a complete package I think you'll find it's more complete than the TomTom, however that said it is possible to accomplish much of what's possible on the Zumo by using a combination of Google Earth, Tyre and other applications such as On-Route (a comprehensive tool which costs about 100 pounds)
If you're quite keen on trying out different types of software the TomTom and 3rd party applications work quite well, but honestly, for the price (TomTom Rider 2 and Zumo 500)are almost the same, so unless there's a saving to be had by going for the TomTom, I'd go for the Garmin every time.
Please feel free to post what you like about the TomTom, I'd be very interested to hear.
David
