Severe means both traffic enforcement and coming up onto other vehicles at speed. Most places here if caught doing 120+ mph especially with others, your vehicle can be impounded and you risk arrest. If not released before trial on your promise to appear, you then have to arrange release thru posting a bail amount, typically 10% to a bondsman. No possibility of paying the cop at the scene. So, the hassle of being arrested, the cost of the tow and impound, and the cost of bail inhibits some, not to mention increased insurance premiums if convicted and then, the fines imposed and possible suspension of your driver's license. Remote areas in Utah, Nevada and Montana for example, lessen any possible contact with other vehicles or the police. I crossed Nevada one fine day @ about 140 mph on a very remote two lane. I hadn't thought of the increased fuel needed and almost ran out.
I know a 70+ mile stretech of two lane that has several 3-4 mile straights that do fine for speed runs just south of Hollister CA. Great riding area. As for "breathtaking beautiful scenery" in Nevada? I've never seen any unless you count vast desert scape as beautiful. Personally I prefer having trees, rivers, lakes and mountains to look at.
