It's MUCH faster to go from San Jose to Valencia via I-5. Here are the 3 ways you can go:
Via 580 & I-5: 367 miles, 4 hrs, 55 min
Via 101 & 126: 368 miles, 5 hrs 40 min
Via hwy 1/PCH: 388 miles, 7 hrs 45 min

The main reason is because I-5 is pretty much a straight line from the bay to LA, and people go much faster than 65 (75-80 is average). On 101, you just can't go that fast. On hwy 1, you don't want to go that fast, anyway, you are in it for the scenery.

So, if you have the time, then take the scenic route. I-5 is nothing special to look at (or smell- there are a number of cattle ranches and dairies along the way).

Have fun!

Roughly 350 miles on the 5, probably longer via PCH...I feel sure 5 is faster but that would be a truly nasty boring power drive on a motorcycle...I suggest PCH.....I won't even take 5 in a car....much less a motor cycle..
