I was there a few weeks back. We had the first snowfall of the year there. I really doubt how well a R1 will get out deep mud and ice. a stretch of 8 km is absolutely bad! The road widening is in progress as well.

(Delhi - Chandigarh ) - Very Good - One can touch about 140Km
(Chandigarh - Kullu ) - Till Anantpur Sahib, fine after that average Indian Roads, but still on the hills one can maintain average of 40-50Kmph (Kullu - Manali) - The roads starts to worsen here. Still manageable (Manali - Rohtang ) - The worst of all, especially the last 6-8 Kms. My verdict: Give it a shot, you can always turn back from the lat few km, and have friends to help you out if in case you are stuck in Ice/Mud/

But, do not forget to book your accomodation in advance or else that could prove to be a headache. I would anyday suggest the GMVN tourist guest house over anything else (the couple of hotels that are available). All in all I totally believe that the Delhi-Lansdowne trip is doable for the R1, and in one day(!!) no less (if you are willing to).

Nobody is talking about Delhi-Shimla since it has been oft repeated and done and rehashed over and over again. But it still remains a good piece of tarmac and a fun ride. Why not do Shimla!
