If (?) you mean you are gonna buy a NEW motorcycle made in India, for the Indian market(?), and you plan to get it registered in the EU, that could prove out very complicated. That vehicle does not comply to the EU emission norms. (***Maybe***, IF you have worked&stayed a long time in India, it could be different, but I really don´t know, does it actually turn things around – and I know, that at least over here, you do need to prove, that you have worked there, earned the money there to buy the vehicle, etc.)
I think I´d just take it all as an adventure, and be prepared to keep the Enfield at home as a ´souvenir´ from that adventure, I might not necessarily be able to register it back home. And if I surprisingly did manage to do that, then it would be just a nice “bonus”. Now I know, that Germany and Finland are a bit different regarding vehicle taxation & registration, but both are in the EU...... Good luck!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
