LOL- I was thinking the same thing.
And I was also wondering why anyone would want or need TWO GPS units...
Do you run rallies. Have you ever seen serious rally/LD bikes.
2 gps units are standard on most rally bikes with 3 units very common. And a 4th unit if it is a 2 up pair. Some are even using IPads in the tank bags.
They are used for different applications by different people. Some are strictly back up units with routes and waypoints downloaded for when/if the primary goes on the fritz. Some always have the rally HQ set as home on one unit and it constantly reminds the rider of the amount of time and the route back to HQ so as
not to DNF. Some show all the preselected POI's a particular rider may want on 1 and not the other.
I usually run 2 units with routes entered into both units. The primary is zoomed out to show a larger picture of the route and upcoming towns, weather etc., while the secondary is pulled in tight to show all cross roads/streets with names and also to show what the upcoming road ahead looks like, especially helpful at night in unfamiliar areas. Once you get a feel for curves and bends on the gps screen it is easier to determine entrance speeds into those curves and bends knowing (hopefully) what lies beyond. The Lowrance unit I ran a couple years ago would auto zoom at the city limits and then back out to the level I wanted it outside of those boundaries.
Just a quick abbreviated answer to your question,
