    Tested: Garmin Zumo 595LM motorcycle sat-nav review

    Tested by: John Milbank | £549.99 | www.buy.garmin.com | 0808 238 0000 There’s something of a rivalry between fans of the two sat-nav powerhouses, Garmin and TomTom.

    Honda’s new ‘Riding Assist’ motorcycle shuns the gyroscopes used by other brands, which the Japanese company says add a great deal of weight and alter the riding experience.
