Dear HUBB, please kill me

I have mined the previous discussions for all they're worth and come up with more questions than answers.

The original plan: I'm an American(and I live here) and want to buy a Royal Enfield Himalayan in India and put it through its paces all the way to Portugal and finally to sell in EU. My route is ideally India-Pakistan-Iran-Turkey-EU. Those with experience can already imagine a few problems with this plan.

First, if you're not an Indian national you can't register a new vehicle in India, you can only purchase one with intent for export. Second, you need a Carnet de Passage for India-Pak-Iran and you can't obtain a Carnet with an Indian registered vehicle. The solution to that is to buy and register in Nepal, but that presents a new bevy of problems, most is cost.

Right out of the gate, Nepalese dealers want 5.61 Lakh for a motorcycle that costs 1.8 maximum in India. There's a huge tax for foreign imports in Nepal and the dealers want more than 3x the bike's worth. That's just the beginning. To get a Carnet to cross these particular countries you need to have a cash deposit or(some type of)coverage of roughly 3x the worth of the motorcycle. Basically, we're talking Disneyland money and it's a total ripoff. Also, I have no intention of returning to Nepal for sale/Carnet deposit collection.

A few possible solutions. Please fact-check my assumptions:

1. I buy in India and register in another country, possibly my own, possibly in EU, possibly non-EU(like Pakistan or Albania). I have to register before I can obtain a Carnet, right? Registering in my state of Oklahoma would be difficult but not impossible, as there are very few emissions restrictions there. Selling the bike anywhere overseas would likely be impossible, crossing the Middle East, very... complicated. Registering in the EU would give me a good sale destination but right now the Himalayan does not conform with EU emissions standards and likely can't be registered there. A non-EU member state may be able to register me but I have no idea where to choose or how to go about it.
2. I wait until it's released in UK and is E4 compliant. This is supposed to be released "before the end" of 2017. I could register in England, put-put around for a few months, obtain a Carnet or not. No time or desire for round trip to India. Perhaps stay in EU. Not ideal.
3. Buy in Nepal, do not obtain Carnet. Beg at Wagah border for passage to China, take Karakoram Highway to western China and cross the northern Stans to the EU. I've heard of people winging it with no Carnet and passing through Carnet Country but I am American and Iran is already going to be a bit of a complication already.

I've been stuck at this crossroads for some time, please help. Keep in mind, I don't NEED a Himalayan, just wanted to try it before it comes to the US market. Most of these problems exist no matter what I buy. Cheers, fellas.
