I spent ten days riding around Transylvania last August, it is a great place to visit. The towns I can recommend are Timisoara, Sibiu, Brasov, Targu Jiu, Sighisoara, Curtea de Arges. We also rode through the Apuseni national park and up towards Oradea, great scenery and a good glimpse of Romanian rural life.
I was really surprised with the way Romanian towns are so well preserved, they all have beautiful old town centres, although the outskirts are usually industrial and uninspiring with the usual high rise tower blocks etc. As others have noted, Hungary can be a bit dull but we broke the journey in a small town called Kecskemet which was pleasant enough, and it would be a shame not to visit Budapest!
Safe travels.
