Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan-based Guerrilla 450

Thats pretty decent pricing for the base variant and 450cc motorcycle.

I still think the tank could have been a little bigger. 11 litre's seems a little less, considering the H450 has 17 litre's. Also, the tank size proportion looks small when you see the whole bike.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan-based Guerrilla 450

The color schemes on this bike are the worst I've seen in recent times. Absolutely gaudy color schemes. Never seen a bike with such worst color schemes in recent times.

Apart from this sole factor, I like what RE is offering here. The bike looks gorgeous. But honestly that 160 section tyre was unnecessary.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan-based Guerrilla 450

Tank design is not typical RE ones and rear end resembles Yamaha MT-15. Overall bike doesn't looks proportionate and looks funky. Color schemes also not appealing, even Meteor 350 has wide range of good colors.

New RE bikes (Hunter/Super meteor/etc) suspensions are not tuned for comfort, so let's wait for Guerrilla road review.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan-based Guerrilla 450

Hunter 350 has been a runaway success for Royal Enfield as it is the most affordable of the stable, has relatively small and inviting dimension, the torque-heavy engine, upright and relaxed ergonomics and decently thumpy exhaust note. People have been lapping it up like hot cake from the baker.

Guerrilla 450 is some-what different. The Sherpa engine is not known for the low end torque, or the thumpy long stroke natured exhaust note. The dimensions, price, ergonomics, etc, are all different. Guerrilla 450 may do decent numbers, somewhat like what Scram 411 did or even better those numbers, but may not burn the sales chart.

I was expecting the Guerrilla 450 to be similar to what the Scram 411 was to the old Himalayan 411. So a bit dissapointed on that front. Hoping there is a Scrambler version of the Himalayan 450 in making.

Coming back, the bike is a bit odd looking and the colour schemes are adding to the issue. The design is not a typical conventional good looking one like the classic series, hunter or the interceptor/GT, and would be polarising to an extent. And with those flashy colourways, the intent may be to target the younger crowd, but they have surely missed the mark.

A lot would depend on how the bike performs as the competition is fierce in the segment with so many bikes from so many brands, catering to various requirement. Looking forward to the ride impressions.

I was in market for a mid segment motorcycle and just booked the triumph Scrambler 400X. Did not wait for the Guerrilla 450 as i was not too keen on another Enfield product. They may have come a long way, but there is lot more to do in terms of fit, finish and refinement. My 2019 Interceptor is not ageing gracefully. The engine is the best part but rest of the bike needs a lot to improve in general.

I was also wondering why this bike needs a 160 section rear tyre? It's got only 40 horses and if the 390 can do with 150 mm with slightly more power than why go for 160?

Also, all the KTM's get 150 section rear tyre (except Adventure) regardless of engine power.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan-based Guerrilla 450

The 'Real' Roadster!

I would really like to see how this bike handles with those fat tyres! It's a good thing with both 17" wheels, one can put better tyres and downsize, if required.

No one shared the chassis pic without the engine! Here it is,

The Brava Blue is definitely an eye catcher!

Happy motorcycling,

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan-based Guerrilla 450

I am curious to understand if the suspension can be switched to that of the Himalayan. With the seat height being this low and hearing about the less suspension travel plus generally what I hear about the Hunter suspension, I am unsure of the setup. Waiting for reviews.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan-based Guerrilla 450

I’m more interested in the rumoured Scram 440, with the long stroke mill. The 400cc performance engine game is anyway moving on from singles to characterful twins, with the Aprilia RS457 crowned the best sport bike and the CFMoto 450 MT, the unicorn ADV. It’s been a long wait from my RD350 to finally have bikes that are not only fast but also sound good.
