All thanks for the comments so far, it has given me lots to consider.
I think to paraphrase all the comments you all say that it is slightly mad to go around the world on an Enfield, but if its something that i am truely passionate about then i should go for it.
Warthog was spot on when i said "classically styled bike" as obbosed to vintage or classic bike, part of the reason is that as silly as it sounds the look of the bike matters to me, even in the middle of the African dessert.
That being said i dont want to have a suckie trip because i chose the wrong bike. Given that parts of my trip will be in the middle of Africia and central Asia it seems that i will have some rough terrain to come across.
For that reason i am wondering if the Royal Enfield Bullets have the capability to transverse the soft sands of the world or would it be better to switch over to a better suited enduro bike for the sake of the trips enjoyment.
Thanks guys.
