XM has just come out with a really small (about the size of an Ipod) satellite radio made by Delphi (Elton John is in their tv commercials). It weighs less than 8 ounces. It has a built-in antenna and comes with a re-chargable battery with at least 5 hours of power. It also records and stores programming. It comes with a car kit, ear buds, and small antenna for indoor use.
My thoughts are about using it on the Burgman. I believe it comes with a cigarette lighter type device which I assume is for re-charging and powering the unit while in a vehicle (or on a Burgman). The built-in antenna would solve a big problem of where to mount one on the bike. The problem is that dealers don't have them in-store yet but they are available on-line from XM, Delphi, Circuit City, etc. I'd like to see one and confirm that it can be powered by our batteries using the plug rather than depend on rechargable batteries. Sounds real promising for use on a bike.
Here's a link that gives a good idea of this radio.

Any thoughts or comments om using it on a Burgman? I already have a Sirius radio in my car and I'm hooked on satellite radio.
