Yes that's a magnificent stretch of road. The summit is at 2757m and it's the 2nd highest mountain pass in the Alps.
I climbed it on a bicycle in 1998 on a tour going from Copenhagen to Milano. Many of the hairpin turns are signposted with their number and elevation so you get the full 'joy' of knowing how many you've got left before the summit...
(I suppose that doesn't have quite the same impact when you're sitting comfortably on a motorbike)
Attached are a couple of photos I took. Some sections are insanely steep as you can see.
