Royal Enfield Bullet (Schwinn) - List of repairs
This will be an updated list as things break, wear out, are stolen, or added. Hopefully it will be a short list. Add about $50R per litre for petrol and about 25 kms per liter. Biking it is not cheap, but I figure it would come out to about the same cost if I were to go Ac class on the train and took taxis to hotels and sites.
Prices are in Rupees. $40R = $1US
