I have used Furkot for planning my last 2 trips and while it is very good for planning out days, albeit a bit clunky at times, my biggest gripe is that the gpx trail does not exactly follow the road. You will notice that the longer the distances are between points on the map, the less likely it is to exactly follow the road.
Therefore, the actual gpx plotting is not entirely accurate. This may be fine for following motorways across countries, but not great when on minor regional roads in Europe.
One of the issues that I have with google maps for planning is that the most recent versions do not allow you to have a significant number of "waypoints" (I think 10 is maximum?)
Long story short - Furkot is good for general planning, however, I use MotoPlaner - Motorrad Touren Planung leicht gemacht for actually creating the gpx route to export to my Garmin. The underlying maps are either Google or OSM and does not appear to limit the number of waypoints.
NB: Motoplaner is in German but if you will quickly learn the functions and if using within Google Chrome, a "right click" with the mouse on a word and selecting "convert to English" will solve your problem
