Personally, I love to ride my old RE 500 bullet in the mountains on the BRP. But I would not tackle the Himalayas with it!

Works great were other bikes (Guzzi's) did have some issues. While we still give him crap, the bike has earned our respect. That said, it has had it's problems but seems sorted now.
