If you find your way to Old Orchard Beach, there's about a million hotels along there. It's full of tourists. Before you hang a right onto the road that runs along the beach, there's a huge seafood place that looks like a converted shopping mall on the left. It's one giant place. Believe it or not, the food there is quite good. However, the name escapes me.

Rt 1 north to Houlton is a nice ride....with a detour to Lubec, eastern most point of land in the U.S.
Rt 2 east from Calais to Bangor is enjoyable
Rt 15 north out of Bangor is peaceful
Maine has a lot of scenic rides well away from the tourist areas....
If you get to the Bah Habah area, a "must see" is sunrise from
atop Cadillac........
As time draws near, shoot me a PM if you'd like more info

If your going through Kittery, The trading post is kind of a neat stop, and next to it is a little resturant, I believe it's a blue building-or hut, lol. Kind of a clam shack, but I can't remember the name-someone help me out here.
A stop at Seacoast HD in NH and Big Moose HD in Maine are good t-shirt stops as well.
Have fun, as said the Rt 1 coast ride is nice.

I can't recommend any specific place to stay. You will be in Maine at a very busy time of the year and there are many places to stay. Maine is a very popular tourist state for the coast and its inland attractions. It is a great state for touring on a scoot. We head up there quite often. You shouldn't have much of a problem finding accomodations in a pinch.
The coastal roads are awesome from Maine down into New Hampshire. we never get tired of riding them. You should have a great time over here.

village by the sea in wells. not on the beach but a short ride to the beach. if your going to be touring and not beaching its about half way between portsmouth and portland. you can also get to the white mountains pretty easy too.

Acadia National park is very nice and the loop road is a nice pleasant 25 mile ride, and like Ybnorml said, sunrise on Cadillac is not to be missed. The ride up Rt 1 along the coast is nice, but can get busy in the summer depending on traffic. The 5-way junction in Camden is a treat for an air cooled bike...no stop sign or signal at all. There is a B&B in Bar Harbor that offers HOG/Harley discounts as well. When you get more details on your dates here, you an PM me for any info you need. Really, there isn't bad riding anywhere in the state, and the farther north you go, the less populated.

If you have time another nice ride would be up to Moosehead Lake. I would just check with some of the folks on the board that live up that way to see what roads to avoid based on the past couple of winters. The roads take a beating in the winter, but Maine does a pretty decent job staying on top of repairs.
Maine is a beautiful State and there are many great riding opportunities. The people in Maine are fantastic. Take the time to introduce yourself and I am sure folks will be happy to give you tips on where to stay, eat, etc.
