Mike, other than your first and last legs (I can't comment on those) and the pass roads you took, it seems you took far too many major roads and missed out on some great back roads with far less traffic.
You will want to look these up for your next trip...people who really know the area can confirm. I know these roads like the back of my hand.
From just south of Vienna, the 21 through Gutenstein to Mariazell, then down the 20 a few clicks to the Wildalpen road (24), then the 25 and 115 to Altenmarkt to take the Hengstpass and then 138 over the Phyrnpass to Liezen. From there, nothing exciting till you get to Bischofshofen and the 164 (Dientner Sattel) to Saalfelden.
From Saalfelden / Zell am See, the 168 (boring with lots of traffic) to Mittersill, then the 165 over the "old" Gerlos pass (not the newer highway), then continue over the Zillertaler Hohenstrasse (very worth it - toll road) and then the 169 to the boring A12 autobahn. Past Innsbruck on the A12 to Kematen and the backroad to Oetz over the Kühtai pass. From there down the way you went over the Timmelsjoch.
From Rovereto the SS46 to Schio and then down to Vicenza...although a short run towards Trento to Levico Terme would have taken you over the
Kaiserjaegerweg (should never be missed), then onto via some great roads through Folgaria and the SS46 and onwards.
Motorcyclists know where the best traffic-free, twisty and scenic roads are.
