Nah - not quite right Molly. You can bring foreign vehicles into and through China, travellers do that all the time. But its expensive as you need guides and permits and a major PITA when it comes to paperwork and buraucrasy.
India - not s problem to get into as long as you have a Carnet. The traffic there might scare the shit out of you though.
I would say that if youre goal is to do a RTW-trip, then do it on one bike. Research its weak spots etc and set it up and equip it well.
But if your attitude is more of a traveller who want to see parts of the world, several bikes, renting or buying locally might be a better option.
Some countries and areas are difficult and or expensive to get axcess to such as Vietnam, so if you want to go there its probably better to hore or buy locally. New Zealand - quite expensive to ship both to and from and a country very easy to buy a bike as a foreigner, so thats definetively an option worth thinking of.
