Having said that, here area few of my favorites:

2. Running South along the Amalfi Coast in Italy (weekday between November and March).
Done that one and and it met all but number three of criteria above (esp number four).

Mille Miglia route has some very nice sections. Also did Giulietta 50th to Fort Bragg in '84 and had some outstanding roads. Last weekend I did seventy (fast) miles in the Alfa out towards the coast and south (from Woodside). One five mile section has sixty-four turns (counted on map, but feels like several times that). - George
