It seems that every luxury car comes with an in-dash GPS navigation system these days, but they're still a rarity on motorcycles. The TomTom RIDER, a GPS navigation systems specifically built for use on motorcycles and scooters, aims to fill that void. The RIDER is waterproof and ruggedized and mounts on your bike's handlebar, and the 3.5-inch touch-screen (which can recognize pokes even from gloved hands) has an anti-glare coating as well as a sun visor. It also has an included wireless headset and turn-by-turn directions are spoken to you as well as displayed on the screen's 3D map. What's more, it doubles as a hands-free system for Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones. The TomTom RIDER retails for about $1,100.
