Buying bike in India
Hi
Whilst we were in India we stayed with our riends who live in Cavelossim, South Goa. When it comes to buying property, cars and bikes as a foreigner you CANNOT own it legally. The way to get around this is for you to buy the bike but an indian citizen/foreigner with residence status must register the bike (which then makes them the owner!)
I would imagine buying one from another traveller would be best, and with foreign plates the police do not hassle you as much as the locals.
The only other option is long-term hire which can be cheap in India. If this is an option then our friends may be able to help you out.
