Elevation shouldn't exceed 5k. Please mention anything you feel would have any merit regarding the interstate or anything as well. As always, thanks and best regards.
Depends where you start off from, where you want to go or which sights you think you'd like to see...
The Savage has a "safe" operating range of 100 mi.; some places are off limits for a simple matter of operating range.
Example:
you cannot ride through the Death Valley because you'd run out of gas before making it to the other end...
Lone Pine, CA to Shoshone, CA is 180 mi. via Badwater, or 165 mi. via Zabriskie Point.
100
165
