Hi!
I am from Roseburg, OR....and after 20 years riding Honda ST1100's I bought a 2017 BMW R1200GS Adventure in May and couldn't be happier.
I have 8300 miles on it already and am growing to love it more each time I ride it.
When I first got it I found the engine noise at idle to be so different, espeically compared to the V4 Honda. It reminded me at idle reminded me of the motorcycle equivalent of a 12V Dodge Cummins. After riding it for a few months, the things that bothered me about it initially are a lot of what I enjoy. The sound of the engine....the slightly lumpy idle, the exhaust note...etc.
And at 6'6" I LOVE the legroom of the GSA.
