As a Brit who has travelled widely in western Europe I can offer some tips.
We use logishotels.com, they have a good range of small hotels and have motorcycle friendly ones (logis de moto).
In France use the RNs, but don't expect to cover the ground as quick. In Italy the national roads really are hard work and really do take your average speed down, use the autostradas between regions you wish to visit then use the local roads once there. Be warned the Italians drive very fast (100 mph with a Merc just feet behind me!) They also brake hard when entering the many tunnels as they won't take off their designer shades!
For good value food look for where the truck drivers eat.
The summer holidays end the first week of September so plan to travel from the second week on to avoid the busy times. The weather should still be good then.
We have had snow in June in the Alps!
I could go on but I'm probably boring you by now.
