Chris, there are a few anomalies up in the Leh region and a recent report which I can't locate commented of a particularly high incidence of altitude sickness in a very small geographic area and compared to other parts of the world at the same altitude this area had a larger incidence of the illness. There is also the magnetic mountain up there, where compasses go hay wire so what is happening to cause the sickness remains to be learnt.
Yamahu, personally I would go with the Electra 350. All bikes can and will fail at some stage somehow and having something that is easy to repair so that the journey keeps moving forward is the best bet.
There was an enquiry for 2 bikes in September which Vivien responded to but have not had any further feed back from that.
We try to give good information, prepare people at least mentally to what they might expect on a bad day in the hope that if nothing goes wrong it was an amazing trip then.
There is also the list of mechanics out and about which we try to get travellers to give us more to add so that others have it easier.
Regards Chris
