Thanks very much for your help on this. Certainly regards to eec regulations this is new news and helpful to me and many others wanting to do the same trip.
However for me I dont have much money and the trip was for me a way I could travel around on a motobike and travel to countires I really want to go to without forking out too much money. Of course payment for the carnet de passage (x%) would be refundable and the bike itself was an investment in itself considering it would be something I could (or perhaps envisigned) on using in the UK when I got back.
For someone who has more money I think defo exporting and re-importing is the hassle free and easiest way to travel.
Im going to try and find out more information about if its possible to make modifications to a indian made Enfield to meet thease new requirments. Perhaps its possible to make modifications to the bike in india/Nepal. I will try and contact Enfield and perhaps the RAC or AA to at least get a better understanding on the options avaliable.
I will post back here any information that comes to light.
Fingers crossed.
