I also did it last Friday, coming from Whanganui to Raetihi. A bit of loose metal where they've resealed the road but not swept it properly. One bit at the Whanganui end where a slip has reduced it to one lane, and there was a heavy digger in the middle which had to move so I could get past. Lots of potholes and areas with uneven surfaces. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although the day was a bit too hot. Treat the road with respect, and you should be fine.
