Opening a route takes a very long time, sometimes several minutes. This is frustrating when you have to wait up to 10 minutes or more before starting the navigation.
I planned the route in Basecamp and because the route could not be pushed to the Zumo XT2 via Tread or otherwise, I converted the route in Bascamp into a track.
Then I pushed the track on the Navi and let the Zumo XT2 itself create a route. Even the creation of the route takes a very very long time.
If then the route created with the Zumo XT 2 should be opened, then the waiting begins every time
For info, the route had about 450km and the original track had a little less than 10,000 track / coordinate points.

You are introducing other issues by converting the route to a track. You then get the Zumo to calculate a route from the track. But what you get is not a route with a few routing points like the route that you created in Basecamp'
On the XT, this is described as creating a 'Trip from a track' - which is also badly named. They may have changed this phrase in the track menu on the XT2. I don't know.
Can you confirm that you have done what
@Fxwheels suggested.
ie. Create your route in Basecamp.
Make sure that your map in Basecamp is the same as the map that you have on your Zumo.
Make sure that the map in the Zumo is selected and that you have no other maps selected apart from the ones that came with the Zumo. Eg OSM maps.
In BC check Edit / Options / Device Transfer. Make sure all boxes are unticked. Click the button to apply the settings to all your devices.
Check your profile is set to motorcycling and your routing preference is set to faster time. I prefer to have no avoidances set.
Name the route something different from the name it was before. Add something to the start of the name. The Zumo might not show all of the characters at the end.
Recalculate the route.
Create a track.
Then select the route and the track, and select the menu option to export as a Gpx file. Save it to your hard drive in a location that is easy to find.
Now connect you Zumo via USB cable. Close down Basecamp.
Wait for the Zumo to be recognised - there might be a 20 second delay on the screen that you can dismiss.
While you are waiting, find the gpx file that you have just exported using a file explorer. Select the file and 'Copy'. On a Pc this is right click and select Copy
When the Zumo shows up, find Internal Storage and select the GPX. folder. Paste the copied file into there.
Disconnect the USB cable. Restart the Zumo and import the track and the route.
See how that behaves.
nb This sounds a very longwinded way of doing it. It isn't. Most of the above is checking the things that you only have to do once.
The things you have to do every time are select the routes, tracks and export them. Restart zumo, import.
You can make it even easier by using the sd card to do this but not having an XT2, I cannot verify this, and on the XT it introduces other things to be aware of.
