" Assuming these are made IN India?? Wonder if you can purchase at the Factory and ride it back to the UK. "
Riding the bike from India to the Uk is easily within the capabilities of the bike...But war, politics and currently disease make it difficult.
TeeDee I highly recommend that you dive into You Tube and look at "Itchy Boots" A Dutch girl, Norally bought an Himalayan in India and rode it back to the Netherlands. No support, always alone via some very remote places.
She then went to South America and rode from Brasil down to Patagonia and was on her way back North to....Alaska.. when Covid 19 intervened and she had to return to Holland. Hours of fascinating viewing, the Himalayans (2) shine through itas tough,reliable superb bikes.
After the India-Holland trip Big Brother EU Regs intervened..Norally could not register her Indian Himalayan in Europe because it didn't meet EU imposed Regs...Hence the new bike (Given to her by a Dutch Royal Enfield Dealership) for the Patagonia-Alaska trip.
How the EU regs would effect you bringing an Indian standard bike to Uk I don't know, but even though we have escaped the EU, the EU Regs currently in force will still apply to bikes imported into Uk I'm pretty sure.
Watch Itchy Boots and start saving Mate...You may well be able to get an EU approved Himalayan in India by now anyway...
