Been centuries since I was up there but suggest you head to SW Oklahoma.  Hugo/McAlister area then cut east toward Mena, AR.  Hwy 3 I think.  A lot of the SW Oklahoma area is good riding.  The Talamina run from OK to AR is good.  From Mena, AR your choice of roads to Hot Springs.  Don't know how much time you have but you should have a good run.  Have fun!

Talimena drive is good. Have done 88 out of Mena to 270 into Hot Springs. Or 270 out of Y city north of Mena. Good scenery, twisties, sweeps, and straights.
If you stay overnight in Mena this is a nice place to stay and not real expensive. http://www.menamtntopmotelcabins.com/
