The 15 Best Motorcycle Roads in America
« Reply #15 on: June 20, 2016, 12:17:11 PM »

Natchez Trace is horrible. I rode it 444 miles and it was a total chore. Never again.

I'm fortunate to have ridden over half of the list, including the top five.

Have been lucky to have ridden 10 of these roads......and all of the top 7. As already stated no way Natchez should be on there, some nice stretches but otherwise boring.

Having ridden 9 of the 15, I think that the Coronado Trail in Eastern Arizona should be on the list.  I would even rank it somewhere in the top 10.  It is US 191 and it runs from Clifton AZ. to Springerville, AZ.  It's approx. 120 miles with over 300 curves.  Elevation changes from around 1200 feet to over 9500 feet. If you go, be prepared for some really cold temps.  I've seen it snow as early as Sept. and was once caught in a big snowstorm the last week of April.

We just rode 1500 miles in Colorado and hwy 64 in NM didn't find a bad road. Very little traffic and the scenery is amazing.
