Hey Gertie - I cant comment on the Himalayan, or South America; however, I did buy and ride a new RE bullet 500 (standard) in Delhi, India for 2 years (2014 model). Loved the bike, the thump and the feel; however, I can't say it screams quality.
I've since road many REs in India, and what most people tend to say (esp those that organize long distance trips) is avoid the EFI. I met a couple okes that run tours with the RE, and they would rip off the EFI. On one trip north of Rishikesh, we rented REs, one crapped out, and the second one they brought us crapped out...so we ended up leaving the bike for the tour agent to pick up...not the best scenario...
That said...still thinking of going back for the Manali-Leh run in Kashmir...on REs!
