Hey Charlie675, thanks for the warning, I'll be very careful.

I can surely be of help to you - the $ 1500 you are quoting will fetch you a good bike but it will be old. The new bikes in the market are around $ 2500 and more.
Most of the Online sales are done by fixing the older bikes and doing some make shift arrangements and these last only a few hundred kilometers and then the trouble starts, ultimately you might end up spending around $ 500 more on the repairs and getting the bike fixed. So beware and use some knowledge to judge the machine you will buy.
Note - Royal enfileds are pretty brittle in nature and have a tendency to fail if not properlt maintained... I have been on tours with guys who got the bikes from Delhi and then the whole breaking and repair business starts...
Cheers
