Tell me a little more about how they handle in potholes and dirt!
I used to own a Pulsar when I lived in Rwanda and it really held up poorly in mud. I would slide all over, mud would get jammed up in the fenders, and eventually the wheels would seize up. Knobbies weren't really available where I was. So while I will be in India in a dry season, I am still inclined to aim for something better at handling whatever the road throws at me.
The notion of someone being able to repair an Enfield everywhere is very appealing though. What models should I be considering for a well-rounded bike which can handle a mix of small roads, dirt track, potholes and good old tarmac?
