Sounds like big fun! When we got to India last year we went directly up to Ladakh & while spending a month up there we just used a big map & a pen to strategize the general route. It ended up changing as we spent a month in Nepal before going back into India but it was very helpful to have that big picture with all of the general places we wanted to visit. LP (maddening as it is) & wikitravel can give you a start on ideas. You can take climate into account too, many mountain passes close when the snows come. As the pp said the country is huge but the roads can be terrible and/or slow. Big km days are very rare...for favorite riding areas we loved everything in the mountains. Kashmir, Ladakh, Sikkim, Meghalaya...but India also has such rich cultural sites and those are in every region. Hampi was our favorite. Good luck & happy researching!
