I think the NZ Motorcycle Atlas is now out of print unfortunately - it was a good guide.
Looking at your Route... On your way south a side trip around the Coromandel Peninsula is worthwhile. Then head for Rotorua & east via hwy 30. Then Snakeboy has some great suggestions - either East Cape, the Waioeka Gorge or hwy 38 are all fun routes, cross back west via the Napier-Taihape rd then head for the Forgotten world hwy.
Was it this week or next you are setting out? The weather doesn't look so great this week. Whoever told you May & June are 'good clear months' was stretching a bit I think, the weather can be variable this time of year. Mind you the weather is variable most times of the year in NZ
If you want somewhere to stay near Rotorua you are welcome at my place (if I am home, will be away a night or 2 over the next 2 weeks) get in touch.
Cheers
Clint
