Well with only two weeks of travel time, sometimes it is best to slab it on the motorway to get to where the good riding is.
Step 1: get good maps! See 2nd thread discussing which maps to get.
Alps Motorcycle Tours - Priced Right - Sport-Touring.Net
Draw a line from Calais to Heidelberg and pick secondary roads along it.

Link those small stretches. You'll find the parts in between are just as good. There are very few boring sections in the Alps.
Look for sites with pics, find them on the map and generate your tour.
Better still, that link above also has FREE downloadable maps of motorcycle touring suggestions. Those maps are put out by the ADAC, the German auto club.
I'll be there all next June. See you on the road.
