I went down to the Black Forest again last September after the Nurburgring WSB. The ride there from the Ring is good if you avoid the autobahns.
The B500 is a good scenic ride but very busy at weekends and speed limits as mentioned already. Id take the point of view that it would be a scenic highlight and not a place to have a thrash.
Pics 22-40 are from the BF area and B500. Away from the main A roads and B500, some are well surfaced, some aren't, but generally the BF is a very nice area. There are a lot of roads passing through meadows with no hedges so you can see the road up ahead for a long distance. The weather looked bad for the few days after, so I legged it North.

Roads to avoid in the area, due to lorries and heavy traffic, are the 31 West from Freiburg and 28 West from Offenburg. If there wasnt the trafic, they would be good.
A lot of junctions have 70kph speed limits around them. Its best to obey those, as people pulling out are expecting people to obey the limits, as they tend to do so in Germany. Plod sometimes set up speed traps up in areas where there are speed limits, I cant recall seeing one away from such an area.
