Thanks for your replies, figured it would be a hassle either way. There's just so much info and different stories we didn't know where to start.
That said, we've read a few stories where people have shipped Enfields out though - with a lot of bureaucratic trouble, granted, but possible. But judging by your replies you're actually saying buying an Enfield (new/second hand/vintage, whatever's needed) as a foreigner and shipping it back home is absolutely impossible? Or is it just very hard and very expensive?
Mind you, the Enfield is only half of the story. If it's really impossible to buy let alone ship one then that's too bad, but we'll just fly home without one. We can buy one back home minus the hassle (but also minus the story  ). The main thing on our minds though is whether or not it's even possible to sell aka leave behind a European-registered vehicle IN India. We've once driven a Mercedes to Gambia for someone to start a taxi career with, so even if we can't sell the bike we would maybe be considering giving our bikes to someone that needs it. But we would of course only do that if it's in any way possible for an Indian resident to register a foreign bike. Any info on that?
Cheers!
