Return to UK
Hi
I'm in india now and was planning exactly the same trip as you.
You can't ride an indian enfield through pakistan and Iran, as you need a carnet.
You can buy a enfield registered in Nepal but will cost you twice as much(due to 100% import tax), for the carnet you need to leave a 500% deposit of the value of the bike with the RAC.
For the bike not to have a SVA test when you return to the UK it must be over 10 years old.
Got my bike from Lalli Singh in Delhi, works a treat, been on the road for 3 weeks now. The bike cost 30000 rupees for a 1996 350cc bullet.
He'll sort you out with basic maintaince procedures and send you off with millions of spares, add a few thousand rupees on for these.
My orginal plan was to fly ther bike over pakistan and Iran to Greece/Turkey, lalli stated cost would be 80000 rupees, but am now going to ship bike back to UK for about 20000 rupees when my trip in india ends.
Hope this helps
James
