I'll vote for "Going-to-the-Sun" highway in Glacier National Park (MT). I worked in Glacier in the summers of 1960-61 and regularly drove the road over Logan Pass. I've been back several times and the beauty never escapes me.
Wabigoon: One of my favorite drives here in Montana is the long loop drive starting in Dillon, Montana travelling west to Jackson, Montana then northerly to Wisdom, Montana then easterly to Wise River, Montana and Divide then southerly through Glen, Montana and eventually back to Dillon, Montana - thus encircling the entire Pioneer Mountain Range of the Rocky Mountains! Took this 130 mile drive just yesterday in fact with the VarmintWife and our houseguests from out of state - they were mesmerized by the beauty of this drive and the abundance of wildlife seen (Mule Deer, Whitetailed Deer, Antelope, huge herds of Elk, Coyotes a Moose, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Ground Squirrels, Hawks galore and numerous flocks of waterfowl!). This scenic drive also had breathtaking views of the Anaconda Range, Bitterroot Range and the Highland Ranges of mountains plus the stunning Bighole Valley itself! Then we drove through the steep canyon of the Bighole River. Pictures taken galore and a very relaxing drive which took us over two high mountain passes with elevations of 7,400' and 6,760'!

Another is SR 92 from Highland, Utah to American Fork Canyon up and over the Alpine Loop into Provo Canyon. Fall colors as pretty as anything you'll ever see.
Minnesota highway 61 along the north shore of Superior.
Going to the Sun, Montana
Needles Highway, Black Hills South Dakota
Many others...
Hwy 1 between ely and north shore was always a nice motorcycle road. I haven't been on it for over 6 yrs now though so I don't know if they've "ruined it" or not?
