Thanks everyone... just to add to this thread, I bit the bullet on a Nuvi 2445 in July for my trip around Europe, and I have to say it works faultlessly on a bike, especially if you use a waterproof Arkon case:
The touch screen still works well though the plastic cover, and mounted between the bar clamps (using a short RAM arm) meant no vibration...
Also, I had no problems with the USB power connector, and the case helps here as it has foam inserts to support [different thicknesses of] GPS units, and the power cable routing means everything stays nice and snug in there.
I'd certainly recommend this combo to anyone looking to upgrade/replace an aging 2610 for example... and the nice thing about the 2445 series Garmin is you can upload/create loads of routes (50 I think, or even 100?) and just select them day by day...
Hope that helps anyone asking a similar question!

ps. The Arkon case also works with an iPhone or similar should you wish...
