As a retired truck driver, I checked my motor carriers Atlas. it shows US 14 as being big truck friendly. Alt 14 is not for big trucks. both roads are shown as being senic highways. if it were me on a Motorcycle I would probably choose Alt 14. US 14 would no doubt be the faster route. hope this helps Kenny...

I took 14A on my way east to the Gillette rally in 2008. Beautiful motorcycle road with very little car traffic. You get up pretty high and it can be cool even in mid-summer.

US 14 vs US 14A
I've ridden 14A in both directions over the years. And I've ridden US 14. It's 14A hands down. More scenic, more curves, more elevation change. From east to west the road falls something like 3,500+ feet in 13 miles. Most downhill grades are between 7-10% grades. And on the western side of 14A take the time to get off and ride up to the Medicine Wheel. It's a holy sight for Native Americans.
