Design Disadvantages of the CB1100

I think you meant Prescott and Jerome.

From Jerome you drop down to Cottonwood (not a bad ride but very low speed limit, lot's of traffic and good opportunities to wash out the front tire) then through Cottonwood, across the river and quick ride to Sedona. Now the road from Sedona to Flagstaff is supposed to be nice if traffic is light but it has been years since I've been on it and never on a bike. Between traffic and accidents and lack of time I've missed it.
For a nice day trip we have taken the Beeline from east Phoenix up to Payson. Take 260/87 north until 260 T's off to the left and take it to Camp Verde . From Camp Verde we take I-17 home. 260 is a very nice ride in the pines while on top of the rim with a dramatic drop into Camp Verde.

An alternative that taken in the fall, continue on 87 to Clints' Wells, then take Lake Mary Road to the back way into Flagstaff. Just a very pretty route for a relaxing day.

Clearly I can't read the map that I posted.

It was about 8 years ago that I was through there and it was in a car, but I've been meaning to get back ever since. I don't remember traffic being terrible, but my wife had food poisoning and was sick all week. She wasn't pleased about my exuberance.
