I've got a 1999 R1100GS also with 103,000km on the clock and it's been great . No major problems. Only thing I have had to replace was the shock absorbers at aorund 60,000 km. Now running on Ohlins but that was as much choice as necessity. Other than that it's been very reliable.
The later models have reportedly got better gearboxes so try and get a 1998 on model if you can. the earlier ones have some history of gearbox problems.
As for there not being too much off road in Holland - weill I disagree. there some great trail riding in Holland. Do a google search on the BMW GS Club Nederland and hook up with those guys and you'll have plenty of dirt to ride.
