I have to disagree
Not sure that I would want to ride all of Rt66 but there are a lot of stretches that really put you back in the 50s/60s and they are fun. My favorite is the part that I live on; from Needles at the Colorado River almost all the way to Ashfork. From there you have to jump on I 40 but go back to 66 at Williams. All of this area is still well preserved and has little travel.
From Williams (gateway to the Grand Canyon) go north to the canyon and then south again to Flagstaff. You can go one of two different ways and both are nice rides. Many options in the area and all are upper elevation and quite comfortable in the summer when riding.
If you are interested, drop me a line and I will gladly give you some more suggestions. Also, Mo and I have hosted many bicycle tourists throughout the years and would be glad to offer the same to a motorcycle traveler.
