The device will be known as the Buell Quest Portable Navigation System and features most of the GPS functionality found in automobile GPS navigation systems. Automatic routing, voice directions, POI database, etc. Additionally, the Garmin Buell Quest comes with an ear piece to make hearing the voice directions easier.

“We’re happy to be paired with America’s premier designer of performance sport bikes,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s vice president of marketing. “We share a passion for design that allows riders to enjoy the ride instead of worrying about how to get there.”

The Garmin Buell Quest GPS costs $700.
