Just tell the border guard that you are riding to Montreal (or Toronto, or wherever) to drop the motorcycle off at Air Canada, and then you and the motorcycle will travel to Europe. The border staff won't have any further interest in you.
An American can enter Canada without a passport, but an American can't get back into the USA from Canada without a passport. Obviously, you'll need the passport for Europe.

That's pretty much our experience when we travelled around Canada from the US a couple of years ago. Five minutes (most which was queuing) and only a few brief questions on the way into Canada (at Niagara) but the best part of an hour and a complete life history to get back into the US at a border post in Maine. The guard was friendly enough but he obviously had a checklist of suspicion to get through. The issue of explaining why two Brits were riding a New Jersey registered bike definately raised the alert level.
