I use a TomTom One for routing (using their app) and logging (via 
Event_Logger, taking data from the raw NMEA stream).  Their "Rider" is a 
bit expensive, but it's designed for motorcycle use.

Anything Unix-based will enable you to capture the raw stream from the 
gps for OSM tracklogging before sending it to the routing app.  The 
Nokia N810 is one such, as are the TomToms.
