I've been up there a handful of times and ridden all the good shit. Such a nice area that's semi close to texas.Matts1911SA - XBox Live Gamertag

It's been nearly 10 years since I've been though. It's amazing what 5 kids does to a sport bike riding schedule.Matts1911SA - XBox Live Gamertag

Been in/around AR for many road trips. 3-4 trips in my Miata and one in the bike.
Here is roughly route I did in 2016 I seem to change it a bit each time but most of the area has good signage on speeds thru turns and roads are generally in decent shape.
I usually shoot to Hotsprings on first night since it is a boring straight shot. Then head NorthEast and work my way back SouthWest.
Of note for me, trip up to and down road to Norfolk (341), I usually stay in the town Mountain View near there.
Can't go wrong with most of the roads that go in/around the national park, I usually stop in hole in wall in Oark for food and spend night in Van Buren.
After that head down to Mena AR and hit Talimena Scenic Drive.
Last trip was in 2019 and I spent a day Kayaking near Mountain Home, was a good break from sitting on bike all day.

I'm going to take the zx10r on a little trip up there this spring or early summer. Probably head from here (sherman) up to mena, then from there to jasper. From there probably head east for a while, then come back south and eventually make my way back home. Do it over the course of a 4-6 days. Should be a good time.Matts1911SA - XBox Live Gamertag

Stayed in Jasper at least twice at the cheap Riverview hotel. Apparently they do a lot of river trips out of that town but it is seasonal and for whatever reason every time I have come through town it has been out of season so the river is down to nothing.
Ozark Cafe in Jasper is pretty decent for food not much else of note other than a few antique shops.
Push Mountain RD is the most challenging road in the area IMO and the one to do if you are on a bike like that, just be aware of gravel in a few places. It looked like it had been fairly freshly paved around 2018 as the first time I went in 2014 or so it was falling apart.1997 Miata - Weekend\Autox Car
