I 80/90 is toll road. Very nice road, however. But financial considerations say you should keep that in mind. It can get pricey (over $30, possibly more) for the privilege of riding that road - all dependent on distance traveled.
I-94 is 3 lane from Canada to Ann Arbor, then 2 lane. Also free. From Detroit to Ann Arbor depending on time, those 3 lanes feel like 1 steel trap. Or a lot of open road, with a few cops hiding out to find you. Our budgets out here are shot, so they do make money on tickets. Quotas are very real here in the states, at least in the Midwest.
If you would like, I would be more than happy to put you in touch with my father. He's an ex-trucker, a veteran of the road (and military, but that's different) and also a very avid biker. So he could work with you to put together a plan and smart general path for your travels. He's not traveled much of Canada that I'm aware of, but can most definitely help state-side roads.
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

Shiny: [...] Considering the weather you've had to put up with I'd say you get an Iron Butt award and a Frozen Nipple trophy to go along with it. First time I've ever posted the word nipple... it ends here.
