Yes, for sure there will be NO pillion. Even baggage will be minimal. But still not convinced that 125cc is sufficient! Has anybody done it before? My main concern is the steep ascent (which could result in engine over heating). I don`t want to look like a jackass at 10000ft

BTW I found a carb tuning article. Seems quite simple.
How To Tune Your Motorcycle For Performance and Fuel Efficiency

only if you manage to reach 10k that is

Yes, I know quite a few people who have done it on their CD100s and Passions in 2009 and pretty comfortably at that though not sure they are a member of xBhp!

All I am saying that Yamaha Gladiator is very much capable to propel you to the highest roads and passes of the world provided its in a good condition. But with that kind of budget, I would go for a Kaizma ZMR.

Cheers,
Shamik

would you just do the trip and sell off?

all Indian motorcycles available can do this though leave out the sporty R15 from your list

I think the discussion on this thread has answered the question here.

Any bike is capable of going to Leh provided the rider is matured and experienced enough.
