I did this run last year with a Nepali bullet. Apart from the CDP problem, only Indian residents can legally register a vehicle in India, so if you bought an Indian bike, you cannot transfer the papers into your name. This means, you would be attempting to cross all these borders with no CDP on a bike which is not in your name !
I bought my bike in Nepal for about 2000 squid and sold it 14000 klms later for about 1500. As I recall, the CDP cost around 1000 of which I got 500 back. Total expense for CDP and bike about 1000 squid, probably less than you will spend on visas and China crossing and guaranteed peace of mind !
