I don't have mine (yet) but I have been riding since 1968. In '08 I was looking for a scooter for my daughter. Gas prices in CA had reached $5 in some places. The San Francisco dealer was sold out for months. I bought a 150cc Genuine Buddy from the dealer in Cleveland, Ohio. It took me 5 days to ride it home! I did stop for a scooter rally in Moline. I kept the load light by staying in motels. I usually camp on trips. A 500cc Bullet would have been luxurious!
Check out the Royal Enfield website. The ride to the Himalayas should convince you that these bikes can go anywhere you might want to go. Just take your time. Mad Maps is a good source for those "alternate" routes. If you are in a hurry, fly.
