Been a while since I have looked at buying a GPS, but I think the main reasons for the price difference is the fact that motorbike versions are water resistent, and feature a screen that can be used while wearing bike gloves. These features alone seem to be justification enough for the price difference.

for the price of some of these motorcycle gps units i would rather just get a car one, program it before i leave and put it in a tank bag with a gps pocket.

also heard that a GPS for a car will not stand up to the vibes when mounted on a cycle.
dont know how valid that info is tho, my phone seems to handle it ok.
I have the Garmin NUVI 550. Less than $200, waterproof and OK for motorcycle use. Battery lasts 4 hours but better to install a power supply from the MC battery. Works great!

Been looking at the garmin nuvi 30.
3.5 inch screen so pretty compact. And only around $60.
