Hey Andy,
The 60CSX is perfectly fine as a travel tool, I've used a 60CS for many trips. Screen size is on ocassion a bit small but with the zoom function you can adjust the screen so that you can make out the detail you require. It mounts right on the handlebar with a RAM mount.
Map choices are not specific to a model and you have the expandable memory card so you have more flexibility to load more maps. It's a pretty easy process, a bit of fiddling and you'll get the basics down.
Depends on where you want to ride for map choices. In places like Europe, North America there are very detailed regional maps available. Garmin world map is pretty blank for other continents so people use Tracks 4 Africa for places like east coast Africa & SA, Smelly Biker maps work fine for many places such as South & Central America, etc.
You may also want to look around a bit more as well. I mainly chose the 60 model as it was small enough to be a personal use model as well and could be carried in a backpack into the mountains. It is easy to take on and off a motorcycle but if you are using it just for motorcycling others will have experiences with different models that also come off quickly or that have locking mechanisms to allow you to just leave it on the bike, again of course depending on where you will be riding and leaving your bike. Best of luck with your search.
