About 10 years ago I rented a motorcycle in LA, strapped some camping gear on the back, and rode up the Pacific Coast Highway to Monterrey over a couple of days, then cut inland to Yosemite National Park for a couple nights camping, and returned along the same path. It took me about a week of say 250 mile days, with plenty of time for hiking and visiting different places.
If you are really set on the Grand Canyon and have limited time, you might be better off to fly to Phoenix, Arizona and rent a motorcycle there. I did that one time, with a loop through Petrified Forest, Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley, and both sides of the Grand Canyon. That was a great trip spread over a week.
