Cardo pack talk bold with JBL speakers ... works very well indeed .
Awesome, thanks for the link and info, I'll check it out.
I have seen the Zumo, looks great with lots of features. Coming from a BMW, I have the Navigator 6 (made by Garmin) and I really like it. I'm on the fence about buying a Navigator 6 power cradle for $200 and a mount and getting it wired up to my ST1200 or just getting the Zumo instead and it comes with everything to connect to my bike.

If I understand correctly, I think the Nav-6 is very similar to the Zumo-XT.
If you can swap it to your ST1200, I would just get the power-cradle. You are already familiar with all the features.
My only concern with the Navigator 6 is its consumption of batteries. I charge it up and ten days later it is totally flat and all my setting etc. are lost. It is a known issue with the Navigator 6. Thankfully the units come with 5 years warranty and I've already been through 3 batteries. They are not expensive if I had to replace them at $19.99. My warranty expires though next May.
You mentioned the Navigator 6 is similar to the Garmin XT. Is this an issue with the XT as well? Just curious.

No the zumo xt has no such battery issues.

Was just out for a 3hr ride with music on. Its cool how the zumo tells me what song is starting even though the audio itself is routed to my cardo packtalk slim. Its a seamless combo.

Exactly none that I'm aware of.
Mine works pretty flawlessly so far.

Pair phone and headset with bike's built-in bluetooth, streaming app on phone (spotify, etc.) and use bike's native display and handlebar switchgear to control music. Cardo Freecom is loud enough to hear with earplugs in.
If the engine is running, the tunes are playing. The very rare times that I don't have music playing I tend to get completely freaked out by all the "noise" the bike actually makes. (Ignorance is indeed bliss)

Lol its true the engine makes a lot of noises that are totally normal.
I have a gen 1 so its mostly the slight clutch basket rattle that gets me. Right at 2800 rpm in the first three gears.
Earplugs are bliss.

I personally don't think we would hear trouble before we feel it. I gotta think you're feeling that rattle more than hearing it. I will admit, when my Sena dies and I have to listen to her, I tend to laugh. She is the noisy little pig.
I never heard the Beemer shit the bed. But I sure felt it when it did.

I'm picking up my noisy little pig tomorrow , I can't wait. Its been at the dealer getting some accessories installed since I bought it last Sat.
*Upgraded FIAMM Free Way Blaster 130DB horn
*Skene rear LED strip light that flash when braking and work as turn signals
*A fuse block for the SKENE and future accessories like fog lights and my Nav.

Fleuger99 , I'm thinking your going to miss the game on tv. hook-em Horns....
I only missed the first quarter, I watched the rest to a disappointing finish. I did a 20 mile ride home. Love the bike so far and I ordered a new windshield as the stock one is pretty much useless. I went with a Puig touring shield. Hopefully its a good one. I was torn between that one and a V-stream.
I seem to struggle to get the side stand down. I push on the bottom part of it but then my boot catches the foot peg and I cannot extend it easily. I'll figure out how to deal with that.

well im completely disgusted with coaches who play a soft defense and lose the game in the last 60 seconds .... but that's another issue ... as far as windshields go the winglets are very important in keeping the cockpit a nice place to ride .... I've never used either brand you mentioned , I have a California scientific windshield on mine with the Yamaha winglets and its a nice place to sit and ride . Puig is probably going to work , but add the winglets . keeps air from coming up from under the windshield .
as for kickstand ,don't have an answer other than you need to build muscle memory for that bike . you're foot is looking for your other bike . post some pictures of the new ride , we like pictures . I'm thinking im going on a breakfast ride this morning to enjoy the 53 degree start to the day . then tonight I will let the Cowboys disappoint me in a big way as they play the 49ers...

Agree on the coaching and losing in the last five minutes. Very disappointing. Windshields are tough and one almost has to try them to truly know how they work for each individual rider. When I lived in MA I had a 2011 BMW R1200R and MAX BMW in NH had a great deal. You buy and pay for the windshield and installation and you can use it for 30 days. If you don't like it you can come back to the dealership and they will remove and install a new one free or fully refund your money and installation. One has nothing to lose by their program. I tried a VStream for my then R1200R and it was an awesome windshield do kept it. I'll post some pics in the near future.
