I have the 550...but have read a lot on the 590...it would be my next choice but I will stay with the 550 for now until Garmin makes their unit compatible with the IPhone and the Scala head set......I had the 350...would not go with the 390...JMHO

Thanks Steve, I had the 550 and then like a dumb ass let it go when I sold my last bike.

I was looking at same thing, have an older zumo 450 currently. Left my Garmin power cable on my other bike when I traded it in, should of took it off. Anyway debating whether to order a new cable or GPS (thinking the cable at this point).

One thing I determined is Garmin model numbers are very confusing :) I was actually leaning towards the 390, mainly for the extra battery time (7 Hours VS 4 Hours on the 590), I'm fine with the "bit" smaller screen, no MP3 player, there are a few extra "bling" features that I wouldn't mind having, but not sure I'm willing to pay $200 extra for them.

Here's a comparison (https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/catalog/product/compareResult.ep?compareProduct=145273&compareProduct=138275), everybody is different. Think I'm going to stick with my 450 for a-bit longer, I really do like the lane assist feature of the newer GPS units and the lifetime map updates are really nice. My car GPS has the traffic updates which I do not see on either the 590 or 390, I would like to have that too..
