Mounting kit and deciding where to mount it will help :) probable cost £100 all in :(

Glad you are going to get a Garmin ... As Zebs has said a mount and wiring for the bike will be around £100 but so so worth it .... Just get out into Hants or Surrey from where you are and when you're lost or want to go home just push a few buttons and away you go ! Beautiful !  :yes:

when they say a mounting kit, you do get a generic mounting kit included that fits to handlebars, a bit difficult to use on the gtr , but if you get the ram ball mount that goes in your centre yolk then everything else is included

I have the Garmin 600 (same as 660 but includes radio).

Kawasaki use to do a satnav mount for the 2007-2010 models, that fits the 2010 to current, (and I think the ZZR), which is what I have. (but I can't find it).

The only thing I would say is - do not leave the satnav on the bike when you wash it!  even though its perfectly waterproof and I have had no issues with the electronics, the screen has an anti glare coating which washes off over time.
