You should. I'm now part of a company which organizes guided tours in the Himalayas Royal Enfield Classic 500s. It's the best way to ride around the himalayas. I don't know if its allowed to post the company website links here so I wont take my chances.

Highest village in the world on scooters

Hello, here are some photographs of me and my friends riding scooters to the highest village on earth (approx 14500ft). We rode a LML Vespa, Bajaj Chetak and a Kinetic Honda DX (two stroke). This village is in the Himalayas and is called Kaumic. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee456/motorbikeman...

Re: Brand new Bandit 1250S over steering a lot

Wow, 120% import duties? Now you know why Harley will be opening up an assembly plant there. They wanted to break into the Indian market and it was the easiest way to get around the import tariffs.
