Hi noche_caliente -

Nope, I wouldn't recommend the original Legend for a motorcycle. It has no routing capabilty, and it's not a color screen. While you can load a small amount of maps to it (8 MB only), that GPS can't route from one place to another. So if you enter in a waypoint for Seattle and say "take me there", it will mark a perfectly straight line to Seattle; it can't follow any roads. It's pretty much a hiking/outdoors only type GPS. That gadget would be useful to store tracks of rides, but there are much better solutions that can do the same thing and much more.

For any of the Garmin units, go directly to Garmin's site for the specs; they have a pretty comprehensive page for each unit that lays out what it can and can't do. Here's the one for the Legend:
