FWIW, the BRP doesn't start in Roanoke, but in-between Charlottesville and Waynesboro, VA. Asheville is the largest town close to the southern end in the Smokies. Look at your map. There are many wonderful roads either side of the BRP that you can switch over to for a change of pace. Doing your drive during the week will make it go nearly twice as fast as on a weekend. And watch out for jerks on motorcycles who don't think they have to obey the law and will pass over solid yellow lines and not wait for legal passing-zones.
Many reasons not to take the drive. But it is something you should do once. I enjoy it quite frequently in smaller chunks on my motorcycle, but I'm only 15-minutes from mile-marker One.
