I've been using the Zumo 550 on both my motorcycle and my car since shortly after it was released and I love it. However, I just blew out the right audio channel a week before I began a 10000km motorcycle trip, so I bought the Zumo 660.
The Zumo 660 has a lot of nicer features. Lane Assist, 3D Lane Assist, wider screen, faster redraws, more functions and information available on the screen, A2DP, etc.
However, the Zumo 660 is missing a couple of critical (IMO) features, including hard-buttons along the left side, and high-detail 3D map view (where are my sidestreets? Awww). Before the latest firmware release (a week ago or so), it was a piece of crap. Many of my complaints have been sorted though.
The picture above with the buttons on the mount make me giddy. The lack of hard-buttons that I can find and press without taking my eyes off the road, or bounce out of whatever mode I am into the next mode is absolutely key. I want that mount!
