Just bought it yesterday. Would have loved if this video would have been uploaded a bit earlier. One issue I think will be is the rear water/dirt that is going to be splashed because there is no tier hugger and the tail is small. Tank is fine. Everything is fine. Power is great compared to the segments.
Firstly, Congratulations on your new ride. Since you have already bought it and this issue is on all Guerrillas, there should be an aftermarket tyres hugger available soon. If RE doesn't make one, some company will. There could also be a possibility to retrofit an aftermarket one with some modifications. If the splash becomes bothersome, especially in the rain, I think you can consider getting one.
same from Hunter 350s non-existent disgusting mud-splash protection. I think twice about taking my bike out without wearing a waterproof trouser, if the road is not dry. Especially when RE is marketing these machines as daily commuters. And why should I pay extra for a tire hugger, as I already paid for the entire bike? How much would the cost have increased for RE? Mudguard and Mirror are always two departments where RE consistently underdelivers. Shame
Doesn't matter if you can install aftermarket tyre hugger or not. This should come under usability QA. Which it fails. RE can easily accommodate a tyre hugger but it won't care because it will sell like crazy. Also, fanboyzzzz will come at you with pitchforks if you point it out 🤣
👍 Thanks for being so clear with the right choice of words that clearly convey your opinion. Well done sir. 🫡 If more have the interest and mindset to be simple, kind and courteous in communication like you've just been, social media can be a better place. 😊
Hello guys! Amazing review. Just booked RE GRR450. I was having second thoughts on buying Guerrilla 450 because wherever I scroll about the reviews, people just demean the bike. I did a test ride or Triumph Speed/Scrambler as well. Ofcourse it has a slightly better edge than RE but I found GRR450 better. Every motorcycle has its pros and cons but you have nicely put up in the video. Thanks again! Best wishes. Big fan of your videos, CK n Bosky
Massive respect gentlemen. Being a very new rider myself, advice from both of you has greatly enhanced my knowledge of bikes. Also, I like how you people instantly recognise the target demographics for any motorcycle and rate it that way instead of nitpicking. Thank you!
Watching your videos helped me decide to buy a Harley X440 mid variant (got 15k discount on offer). I test drove back to back the Maverick 440 and Harley X440, although the same architecture - I found Harley has more character in terms of how I felt while driving it - it sounds better, the riding position is commanding (maybe bcoz of higher size front wheel and flat handle), feels more expensive and well built and I was very clear it is the x440. Also test rode Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450 back to back. The test ride bike of the Himalayan was a bit old and the engine was noisy. Guerrilla was brand new, felt better built and the engine was relatively smooth compared to the Himalayan. Overall it didn't connect with the nature of the engine, it was fast but not characterful and. Low end pick up was not smooth. I even tried KTM 390 Adv, there as well I didn't like the engine character to my liking. Overall I loved Harley as some bike which is complete, well engineered and built for purpose from scratch and not just permutation/combination of same platform for different bikes. 1. Engine Character (low end and smooth) and Sound 2. Sitting position and Handle 3. Ride and Handling balance 4. Premium bike feel (paint finish) 5. Good Headlights and premium feel of buttons and parts. 6. Cheap maintenance due to Hero Service (also own XPulse 200 4v Pro) I always felt happier after the test ride of x440 and convinced. Discount just fastened by decision making and purchased it. Waiting for the special number 0440 😊 from the RTO. Thanks Bosky and CK for your interesting and heartfelt perspectives.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you so much for your appreciation. My garage will now have 2 bikes 1. Xpulse 200 4v Pro for trail or adventure riding 2. HD X440 for commute and highway rides I am planning to add a 3rd one something like RS457 (not in near future) to have that complete range of riding experience and purpose. I will just keep on replacing one with a better and bigger one with experience for lifelong keeping 3 at a time. Ride Safe. Stay Happy!
Totally agree Harley x440 is an amazing machine... Had test rode it a few months back and loved it but was holding off coz every person in the circle kept telling me "it's not real Harley" "it's a cheap Harley" it's not a good bike, it's a hero product, it doesn't have value ! Don't know on what basis they perceive a product !! but now with the new colours I think I am convinced I just need to test ride the Grr450 before making the final decision!!! 👍
@@user-bm2gb2pn6h listen to your heart, it says truth. How you feel during the test drive is important. As Bosky said you cannot go wrong with any of the current options in 400 class. So it all depends on what you like in the end.
I test rode this and the triumphs today. Surprisingly the Speed 400 felt the most comfortable in terms of seating, posture and maneuveribility. One other concern i have is the service quality among these companies. RE could not care less about the customers. Which one do you think is reliable?
I own a Speed 400 since July 2024. I have ridden a lof the other named bikes (KTM, Husquarna and RE Hunter 350). I have a very good dealer not far away I live and the service is very good. - Now I regret a little ... because this video makes me search for a RE dealer and ... even closer to the town where I live, I found one. So I will test ride the Gurerilla 450 next week.
O, wonderful, this bike has done an excellent job.....it has made me like my Speed 400 even more!! I have 2 more litres in the tank, Ive got 4piston Callipers up front with sintered pads, Ive got more seat to footpeg distance, I've got better than RE quality, I've got 10odd kgs weight advantage,.....and, Ive got USDs too!(if it makes a difference 😅) Have done 11,000kms with zero issues, what a bike, man.
I did back to back test rides with both of them, speed 400 felt a better bike in terms of ride quality, but I felt it lacks the road presence and a bit of character. Also I liked the riding stance on this one better than speed 400. This bike appealed to me more so I went with it. I hope this does well.
Im a beginner rider & I've booked this exact bike and this exact color! It will be in the showroom tomorrow! I'm so glad i could get ur opinion on this bike! I'll decided to get to delivered Aug 28 my birthday 😅 cant wait for the adventures together
Please make a detailed video of heat dissipation as I felt no heat in Himalayan where its diverted neatly under the thighs but in guerrilla my thighs were cooked in Guerrilla test ride!

What is your opinion on RE pricing the bikes differently just for the paint schemes? I feel it’ll be better if there are some additions in terms of accessories instead of just colour changes. What’s your opinion?
Guys! Awesome stuff! Please try and get your hands on the Mavrick! Would love to hear what you guys think of it. After having rode the x440 and the triumph 400 I'm still drawn to the Mavrick! The bike gets some hate from some people but a few from the motorcycling community seem to have high praise for it.
i think the concern for the tank range primarily comes from a daily commute/city bike perspective rather than riding 200kms at a stretch. A range of 200 kms means fueling up every alternate or maybe 3rd day which makes for an inconvienient city bike :/
Firstly the great video you Guys knowledge about bikes are amazing . I just want to ask you one simple question . As i am student i want to purchase a good bike My budget is around 2 lakhs As my budget is little tight. I want a bike for a longer duaration . What would u suggest Can u give me one or two names of bike .? Thank you so much for the info and thanks for the help.😊
Finally, ❤ Uncle Bosky and Uncle CK, as always, rock 🎉😊 Ground clearance, at any point, seemed to be an issue? 🤔 And what's your opinion on the radiator cap being exposed? Like any kid could easily get rid of the lid. However, in the event of a crash, I don't see a major problem. Scrambler 400x has it in a much better position.
I think it is better looking than the speed 400 or 440x royal enfield are really building awesome bikes will be buying mine soon wont ever own a harley again thanks to royal enfield...
got mine on 14 th august im loving this bike the reaction i get while i take it on a ride is amazing the only problem is i bought the brava blue and the maintainance is tough since theres no tyre hugger backside and its raining mostly in bangalore nowadays its kinda disturbing but hopefully that accessory should be available soon i guess
Hi bosky please make a review about yezdi adventure you have almost completed most of the touring bike yezdi adv is the one still now you didn't make any review so can you please make for us❤
pillion seat should have been little longer ....way to short looks like a yamaha mt 15 seat...n may be USD as its normal for bikes in this segment even bikes with lower price has it..
I wish the tank was more retro like the speed 400. It was like they wanted to make the tank different just to say it wasn’t retro when the rest of the bike is.
Hello Bosky sir, Guys,,, I'm owning Himalayan 450. I'm facing this frequent radiator fan kick in very often like every 2 mins after 5-10 mins of short ride. Does anyone facing the same issue. What I can do please let me know. Do I need to visit service centre or is it common?
It’s not a segment king definitely. Viewers deserve a better representation of balanced reviews on equally on Pros & Cons. All good information you are providing, looks like a biased review from a sales executive who sells it. Either you both own a showroom or promotion basis, the work of a true reviewer is that the people should not be in illusion. Request you guys to put proper unbiased review. There are many negative points on handling in wet, tyres, max speed etc which needs in depth review. This feedback doesn’t mean that I am against, but I also own 3 RE motorcycles.
We've shared what we think and you've shared what you think and so has someone who commented about poor wet road handling. That's social media and we all have a choice. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore No worries, that’s the biking spirit. I have shared what I have observed on the bike, not what I think, it was a core observation while test ride. No worries, that’s the biking spirit. That’s the social media from Technical personnels. But waiting for a matured Guerrilla, hope they fix even their mirrors as well which move in different directions with streaming air-flow. I believe in RE that they will address all these soon. Cheers Buddy 👍
I picked the Guerilla 450 as against speed and x440. X440 doesnt suit my riding style as its not a rev happy engine. I am from a tier two city and I had to go to Hubli to test ride triumph which is like 160 kms. So it wasnt practical to get the speed 400. Moreover it didnt give the thrill as Grr450 gave while riding. Happy with the choice i made 😊
@@bigbearbangaloreSo I was watching your old video of breaking in the engine. I have a doubt about break in. Does breaking in influence the way the engine behaves in terms of acceleration and revs in long term ?
Overall, Speed 400 is the more complete bike in this neo-retro segment. With USD, 4 piston radial caliper brake, awesome stock tyres, traction control, more tractable engine(better low end torque), better ride quality & seats, better tank capacity, range & mileage, beautiful DRL and an actual tail light😉. It has more advanced equipments and better power to weight ratio as well. Not to mention the best in class fit n finish. It's looks better & feels more premium ❤️
Hello Sir, I need to ride more than 100 km daily. There are some highways some hilly areas and some village roads. I want a good bike within 3 lakh budget. Will this serve my purpose?
I am 26 yrs old looking to buy my first bike. I have a scooter now and have ridden a 110cc bike before. I need for mostly city ride and and ocassional long tours. Will it be a good bike for me?
Yes! CK and his friend rode the GRR in rain and wet roads for more than 3 hours last Sunday on their way back from Chikmagalur. And they found no issues with the tyre performamce.
If you had to choose between this and triumph scrambler 400x which one would it be? Also some reviewer complained about too much vibration at 100 to 120 speed what's your take on this?
Since I don't commute and will use the motorcycle on highways, I'd pick the GRR since it feels more planted ans stable at higher speeds on slightly bumpy roads.
Nice bikes all positives but my only negative is the paint scheme or colors with stickers here and there looks like some chapri bike mechanic from garage coming on the street after playing holi with different colors😂
Many of the Auto Channels have mentioned that the tyres, though fatter, are not great at gripping the road especially in the wet. Any thoughts on this?
@@bigbearbangalore If you could provide some info on this that would be great. Apparently the tyre sizes make it difficult to replace making this a major safety concern.
@LloydJ all sizes made an appearance for the first time sometime. This size is appearing now and will be available like any other tyre soon. It's a made in India tyre so I see no issues with availability soon.
Hi Bosky and CK, love your videos and the lovely old Bangalore accent! I'm looking (more like wishing) to upgrade from my Thunderbird 500 BSIV. While a natural upgrade would have been something like the Super Meteor 650, the stiff suspension is a put off (considering I'm a 40 year old IT employee with typical back issues). Have you heard anything about the Interceptor Bear 650? Also, would love a chance to join you guys for a ride, please suggest if you organise any single day rides around Bangalore. Thank you!
Why RE discontinued scram 411 for this guerrilla 450… technically guerrilla is big brother of hunter it should be discontinued actually. Am looking forward to buy scram 411 on December- jan this is heartbreaking 😌
Sir what's your take on the warranty period being relatively less?is RE not confident for its own product?btw which is a better bike among speed400,GRR and the svart in terms of reliability and ease of maintenance?I will be buying my first bike in a few months and wanted to ensure that I get to enjoy the experience rather than being worried about quality,reliability and unnecessary expenses etc.
Exactly it is not for Indian mami's 😀. Like the suspension to be always on bit stiffer side for better handling. Would like to see a better finished new design chunkier swingarm. Higher seat height would provide a more aesthetic look. Would always prefer a telesscopic fork with more chunkier diameter. As it is Showa it will be of good quality. Hope Royal Enfield produce a high power version of this bike with around 55 - 60 bhp and around 43 - 45 nm of torque with the same 11.5 : 1 compression ratio. I am willing to shell out another 1 lakh rupees for the high performance version provided the engine and drivetrain is durable and very long lasting.
Thanks to Bosky and CK for your reviews. Been three weeks since I got my x440 vivid variant during the sale. Loved riding every km on it. The feel and character the bike carries is just too good. After looking at your reviews i threw away all those sayings that people shit on the internet that it's a fake harley , hero davidson 😂 and stuff and that was the best thing that happened. Took a test ride along with the mavrick and just fell in love with the bike's character. Went in the hope of trying a good bike and that did so. My lil take after owning it: Excellent thump and low end torque. Barely heats up if ridden at a decent speed. Will feel the heat if stuck in heavy traffic. Good weight balance and better horn and cable management on my bike than the test ride piece. Will be a good choice for a relaxed rider. Cheers ✌🏻
can't decide between this and triumph 400X. Not planning to use it much in city and offroad, just lazy B-roads of short b-roads roadtrip. Maybe the 400x is more confy and a bit more refined?
Hi Sir , I am confused between Himalayan and guerrilla. I wanted a touring bike as I wanted my riding journey, but confused which will suit me as I do commute as to office .. I have test driven both vehicles I loved the initial pickup on guerrilla and Himalayan seating was awesome . Please suggest
Took a Test Ride and found too much of vibrations and noise in the test bike...also the reach to press the clutch seems to be high (i am 6ft tall with long fingers and even I found the clutch to be uncomfortable)..gear changes were clunky and rough..anyone found these issues??
Tyres are not Grippy in wet as they're MRF and without Traction Control it will definitely low side out ...I'm not sure this size tyres better brands are available they could better tyres n at least some upgrades like small visor knuckle guards
I have never rode any bike with more than 150cc, i want to buy a bike for long road travel, good comfort and maybe one that has offroad (our pot hole andhra roads 😅). I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks
Hi Bosky, just wanted to know have you changed your engine oil for scrambler as of now ? And are you planning to put silkolene in scrambler also? Clocked around 4.5k kms as of now, when should I change the engine oil according to you ❤
Having a non branded untested USD fork is always always bad than a branded rightly tested telescopic suspensions. This is my personal experience being a MTB athlete its very important how a suspension is tuned rather than just saying upside down fork😂.
Sirji how come you guyz get any RE bikes so early after launch whereas other bikes like Honda NX500 which launched quite a time ago is yet to be reviewed by you 🤔
Thank you guys , i was waiting for your review before finally deciding to buy it with my hard earned money . I believe there are bikes better than it in its segments , but looks are a big factor for me and i have decided to go for it.
One step at a time sir. We just got hold of this for 1/2 day and we need to understand it well. And we need to ride it much more. The comparison video likely is several weeks away. Regards.
Thanks for the reply.. Would keep an eye out for that review.. I’m considering either this or one the triumph twins.. My main usage would be office commute along with the occasional weekend rides..
@@bigbearbangaloreThis bike cannot take sharp turns....if you compare it with speed 400 .....speed has better turning radius than ReG450...what are your thoughts??? please reply
The tank volume in my opinion is a real-concern although may not be deal breaker. Most of us Indians are single-garage, single-machine owners. Not every body has either space or money to buy two bikes for two purposes. Considering people here are mad about going Ladakh, Arunachal, Sikkim and what not on what ever they have, with its average 29km on long-ride, it'll be a concern. Just 2 extra litters would have changed everything. Yes obviously it won't be a matter if sb is doing inter-city or inter-state due to availability of wide range of fuel stations in our country. And carrying some fuel on extra bottle can also be managed.
Just bought it yesterday. Would have loved if this video would have been uploaded a bit earlier. One issue I think will be is the rear water/dirt that is going to be splashed because there is no tier hugger and the tail is small.

Reliability I'd say is good with both. The rest is your personal assessment and preference.
It would be advisable to get a good mechanic in your city if service is a concern. Rest is up to you.
I think the service quality will be different depending upon the location…

My friend who owns petrol bunk told me all 400 cc bike they fill petrol of 1000 rs 20+- . Very rarely people fill the tank so 11 liters will be fine.

What is your opinion on RE pricing the bikes differently just for the paint schemes?
I feel it’ll be better if there are some additions in terms of accessories instead of just colour changes.
What’s your opinion?
May be it's to offer a motorcycle at a lower price with a paint job that costs less.

Hello. I cannot tell you what may suit you better. But from this 3, for me I'd pick the G450.
Hi bosky please make a review about yezdi adventure you have almost completed most of the touring bike yezdi adv is the one still now you didn't make any review so can you please make for us❤
Noted
Should traction control be available in this bike as it is light and agile as compared to himalayan also it is fairly powerful bike of 40bhp
Would be nice to have.
its 40 bhp man, TCS is an overkill.
pillion seat should have been little longer ....way to short looks like a yamaha mt 15 seat...n may be USD as its normal for bikes in this segment even bikes with lower price has it..
🫡
USD at this segment from endurance can't match the feel of Showa telescopic forks
I wish the tank was more retro like the speed 400. It was like they wanted to make the tank different just to say it wasn’t retro when the rest of the bike is.
🙏
Thanks for your impressions 🙌🏽 ordered mine 2 days ago 🤗
Congrats! Best wishes.
a comparison with speed 400 plz... i am torn between two... which one to go for
Go for large network of distribution and service one , me also confused then i found gurreilla better…
🙏
Waiting for this video thanks for this
What about the price, is this in a good price range??
Thanks. Check at your nearest showroom. Bangalore is 239,000/- ex-showtoom.
@@bigbearbangalore
I totally agree with your points
It is almost 3.2 lks When I asked in vijayawada, Andhrapradesh, I was told by the showroom guy...
Hello Bosky sir, Guys,,, I'm owning Himalayan 450. I'm facing this frequent radiator fan kick in very often like every 2 mins after 5-10 mins of short ride. Does anyone facing the same issue. What I can do please let me know.
Do I need to visit service centre or is it common?
That's normal. The fan is doing it's job.
@@bigbearbangalore sir no need to check with service centre then? I wonder i dint see this much fan kick in recent Times in bike so this concern
@@bigbearbangaloreThanks sir 🙏🏽
It’s not a segment king definitely. Viewers deserve a better representation of balanced reviews on equally on Pros & Cons. All good information you are providing, looks like a biased review from a sales executive who sells it. Either you both own a showroom or promotion basis, the work of a true reviewer is that the people should not be in illusion. Request you guys to put proper unbiased review. There are many negative points on handling in wet, tyres, max speed etc which needs in depth review. This feedback doesn’t mean that I am against, but I also own 3 RE motorcycles.
We've shared what we think and you've shared what you think and so has someone who commented about poor wet road handling. That's social media and we all have a choice. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore No worries, that’s the biking spirit. I have shared what I have observed on the bike, not what I think, it was a core observation while test ride. No worries, that’s the biking spirit.
That’s the social media from Technical personnels. But waiting for a matured Guerrilla, hope they fix even their mirrors as well which move in different directions with streaming air-flow. I believe in RE that they will address all these soon. Cheers Buddy 👍
I picked the Guerilla 450 as against speed and x440. X440 doesnt suit my riding style as its not a rev happy engine. I am from a tier two city and I had to go to Hubli to test ride triumph which is like 160 kms. So it wasnt practical to get the speed 400. Moreover it didnt give the thrill as Grr450 gave while riding. Happy with the choice i made 😊
Congrats & best wishes.
@@bigbearbangaloreSo I was watching your old video of breaking in the engine. I have a doubt about break in. Does breaking in influence the way the engine behaves in terms of acceleration and revs in long term ?
@@adarshheyes! It always does! Even in cars!
Guerilla 450 vs Scrambler 400x as on overall pick?
G450 would be my pick.
Overall, Speed 400 is the more complete bike in this neo-retro segment. With USD, 4 piston radial caliper brake, awesome stock tyres, traction control, more tractable engine(better low end torque), better ride quality & seats, better tank capacity, range & mileage, beautiful DRL and an actual tail light😉. It has more advanced equipments and better power to weight ratio as well. Not to mention the best in class fit n finish. It's looks better & feels more premium ❤️

Bosky dominar has best led headlights

Hello Sir, I need to ride more than 100 km daily. There are some highways some hilly areas and some village roads. I want a good bike within 3 lakh budget. Will this serve my purpose?
This can
Thank u so much for ur advice sir...
I bought the silver I will get it tomorrow
Congrats!!!
Bosky & CK, the review talks all about goodies; there are more cons in this bike which you can make it as another episode.
🫡
I am 26 yrs old looking to buy my first bike. I have a scooter now and have ridden a 110cc bike before. I need for mostly city ride and and ocassional long tours. Will it be a good bike for me?
Yes this can be.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for the reply.
Will it be a good idea to swap the stock tyres to something little bit more sporty? Not too much sporty though.
You can. And I suggest to stick with these. They are quite ok.
@@bigbearbangalore even on wet roads?
Yes! CK and his friend rode the GRR in rain and wet roads for more than 3 hours last Sunday on their way back from Chikmagalur. And they found no issues with the tyre performamce.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you so much for the review.
If you had to choose between this and triumph scrambler 400x which one would it be? Also some reviewer complained about too much vibration at 100 to 120 speed what's your take on this?
Since I don't commute and will use the motorcycle on highways, I'd pick the GRR since it feels more planted ans stable at higher speeds on slightly bumpy roads.
For me the eye sore is the exhaust the color looks rusty and worn out imo
🙏
Is the guerilla really that small? Or u guys are huge? I m 6 ft by the way.
Check it out at a showroom
Nice bikes all positives but my only negative is the paint scheme or colors with stickers here and there looks like some chapri bike mechanic from garage coming on the street after playing holi with different colors😂
🙏
@@bigbearbangalore what about you? Are you fully satisfied with different colors and stickers all over the body of gurella
Would have to travel with a gas jar. The tanks too small
No
My budget 3.50 lakh can i purchase this gurilla 450 or interceptor 650?,please suggest
Quite different they are. If you like Twins then the choice is obvious. Else, the GRR could be the preferred option.
go for BSA goldstar
can you tell me the location? Looks good for a ride :)
Off Hassan road.
Any update on after market tyre hugger of this one ?
None I know of
does the rear tyre fling muck on the rider?
Don't know
Nice review, Love it
👍
Many of the Auto Channels have mentioned that the tyres, though fatter, are not great at gripping the road especially in the wet. Any thoughts on this?
Didn't experience any such on this ride. May need to ride it more to understand this.
@@bigbearbangalore If you could provide some info on this that would be great. Apparently the tyre sizes make it difficult to replace making this a major safety concern.
@LloydJ all sizes made an appearance for the first time sometime. This size is appearing now and will be available like any other tyre soon. It's a made in India tyre so I see no issues with availability soon.
Seems to be RE's unofficial PR, can sense it ever since this motorcycle was launched.
🫡
I am 5.9.. Can i get comfort to ride..?
Yes
Hi I am a video editor and a very big fan of you. Can i make your videos ? Let me know..
Will ping when we need your services. Many thanks.
@@bigbearbangalore sure. Thanks 👍 😊
This is to Himalayan what 200T is to Xpulse.
In my opinion It looks ugly.

Hi Bosky and CK, love your videos and the lovely old Bangalore accent! I'm looking (more like wishing) to upgrade from my Thunderbird 500 BSIV. While a natural upgrade would have been something like the Super Meteor 650, the stiff suspension is a put off (considering I'm a 40 year old IT employee with typical back issues). Have you heard anything about the Interceptor Bear 650? Also, would love a chance to join you guys for a ride, please suggest if you organise any single day rides around Bangalore. Thank you!
Check out the Shotgun and don't know aboit the Bear yet.
Why RE discontinued scram 411 for this guerrilla 450… technically guerrilla is big brother of hunter it should be discontinued actually. Am looking forward to buy scram 411 on December- jan this is heartbreaking 😌
Scram 411 is still available.
Sir what's your take on the warranty period being relatively less?is RE not confident for its own product?btw which is a better bike among speed400,GRR and the svart in terms of reliability and ease of maintenance?I will be buying my first bike in a few months and wanted to ensure that I get to enjoy the experience rather than being worried about quality,reliability and unnecessary expenses etc.
There's extended warranty for 2 more years available at an additional cost.
Exactly it is not for Indian mami's 😀.
Like the suspension to be always on bit stiffer side for better handling.
Would like to see a better finished new design chunkier swingarm. Higher seat height would provide a more aesthetic look. Would always prefer a telesscopic fork with more chunkier diameter. As it is Showa it will be of good quality.
Hope Royal Enfield produce a high power version of this bike with around 55 - 60 bhp and around 43 - 45 nm of torque with the same 11.5 : 1 compression ratio.
I am willing to shell out another 1 lakh rupees for the high performance version provided the engine and drivetrain is durable and very long lasting.

Thanks to Bosky and CK for your reviews. Been three weeks since I got my x440 vivid variant during the sale.
Loved riding every km on it. The feel and character the bike carries is just too good. After looking at your reviews i threw away all those sayings that people shit on the internet that it's a fake harley , hero davidson 😂 and stuff and that was the best thing that happened.
Took a test ride along with the mavrick and just fell in love with the bike's character. Went in the hope of trying a good bike and that did so.
My lil take after owning it:
Excellent thump and low end torque. Barely heats up if ridden at a decent speed. Will feel the heat if stuck in heavy traffic. Good weight balance and better horn and cable management on my bike than the test ride piece. Will be a good choice for a relaxed rider. Cheers ✌🏻
Awesome. Congrats. And thanks!
can't decide between this and triumph 400X. Not planning to use it much in city and offroad, just lazy B-roads of short b-roads roadtrip. Maybe the 400x is more confy and a bit more refined?
GRR is better at highway speeds.
Hi Sir , I am confused between Himalayan and guerrilla. I wanted a touring bike as I wanted my riding journey, but confused which will suit me as I do commute as to office .. I have test driven both vehicles I loved the initial pickup on guerrilla and Himalayan seating was awesome . Please suggest
Test ride back to back on the same roads and choose please.
Took a Test Ride and found too much of vibrations and noise in the test bike...also the reach to press the clutch seems to be high (i am 6ft tall with long fingers and even I found the clutch to be uncomfortable)..gear changes were clunky and rough..anyone found these issues??
Thanks for sharing.
Tyres are not Grippy in wet as they're MRF and without Traction Control it will definitely low side out ...I'm not sure this size tyres better brands are available they could better tyres n at least some upgrades like small visor knuckle guards
CEAT
Having to fill up the tank every 220-250kms is a downer.. even by commuter standards..
RE engineering seems to have got this wrong, i suppose.
🫡
I have never rode any bike with more than 150cc, i want to buy a bike for long road travel, good comfort and maybe one that has offroad (our pot hole andhra roads 😅).
I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks
Plenty of choices of shape size cost genre. Do some research and shortlist and test ride.
Hi Bosky, just wanted to know have you changed your engine oil for scrambler as of now ? And are you planning to put silkolene in scrambler also? Clocked around 4.5k kms as of now, when should I change the engine oil according to you ❤
Yes I changed to Silkolene at 4,000 kms.
Having a non branded untested USD fork is always always bad than a branded rightly tested telescopic suspensions. This is my personal experience being a MTB athlete its very important how a suspension is tuned rather than just saying upside down fork😂.
🫡
complete contrast to Shumi's review. good to have different views but most prospective buyers would be thoroughly confused...
Is it? Then all the more reason to take test rides to know first hand what is feels like. 👍
Great review. Thank you. Single bike garage. Middle aged rider. G450 or the Inty 650 - when to choose what from your perspective?
I'd choose the GRR because it's lighter, faster and handles better.
Out of syllabus question: Why some otherwise great motorcycles like Aerox, Hunter, Super Meteor 650 etc come with really really hard suspension?
Design and purpose of use restrictions.
Are guerrilla 450 tyres slippery on wet roads??i mean ..is it not providing enough grip and confidence on wet roads...plz answer
Did not ride it in the wet. Was good in the dry and bad road conditions.
Sirji how come you guyz get any RE bikes so early after launch whereas other bikes like Honda NX500 which launched quite a time ago is yet to be reviewed by you 🤔
RE makes new bikes accessible to us. So does KTM and Bajaj and Triumph.
Thank you guys , i was waiting for your review before finally deciding to buy it with my hard earned money . I believe there are bikes better than it in its segments , but looks are a big factor for me and i have decided to go for it.
Congrats
Plz do comparison vedio of scramber400x vs guerrilla
In a few months, yes, once we get to use the GRR more and understand it better.
You’re views on this bike is polar opposite to motorinc 😅
Each to his own
Actually it is not.lntoo different. Listen to the entire video. Motoinc has gone indepth and made a deep analysis into some of what we've said.
How much ideal odometer reading is ok on a new bike before delivery. Went for inspection yesterday and mine showed 24 km. Is this ok?
It's OK. 👍
Somehow I feel completely left out by the brand for wanting just an all black or a familiar RE color scheme that is less screaming "this is a toy".
🫡
Why no comparison with the Triumph twins? I would have expected you to compare with the Speed & Scrambler 400 as you own one yourself!
One step at a time sir. We just got hold of this for 1/2 day and we need to understand it well. And we need to ride it much more. The comparison video likely is several weeks away. Regards.
Thanks for the reply.. Would keep an eye out for that review.. I’m considering either this or one the triumph twins.. My main usage would be office commute along with the occasional weekend rides..
I’m having second thought on guerrila and scrambler..which one should I buy??
I want to do long rides.
Tough choice. The 400X has better suspension. The G450 has better high speed stability.
Better to get interceptor 650 rather than this... may be 50k difference but interceptor would be the best choice.
🫡
How is the turning radius in RE Guerrilla 450???
Didn't notice anything too unusual.
@@bigbearbangaloreThis bike cannot take sharp turns....if you compare it with speed 400 .....speed has better turning radius than ReG450...what are your thoughts??? please reply
Ok. Noted.
Like I said, we didn't notice this as a issue.
Tank is smaller but not much of a issue it takes few minutes to fill up but tires are not good it could have been better and clutch is heavy too
👍
The tank volume in my opinion is a real-concern although may not be deal breaker. Most of us Indians are single-garage, single-machine owners. Not every body has either space or money to buy two bikes for two purposes. Considering people here are mad about going Ladakh, Arunachal, Sikkim and what not on what ever they have, with its average 29km on long-ride, it'll be a concern. Just 2 extra litters would have changed everything. Yes obviously it won't be a matter if sb is doing inter-city or inter-state due to availability of wide range of fuel stations in our country. And carrying some fuel on extra bottle can also be managed.
👍
Another boo boos Tyre size, if it was 150/60 and 110/70 we would have multiple options of tyres
👍
Don’t really like the jerky ride though.. so if there was an option to play around with the linear acceleration up and down would have helped 😮
👍
Scram 400x is a great bike
👍
Hello bosskeyy good job on the review
We would also love some gear reviews expecting a review on your new taichi
Thanks. I wear it and enjoy it. Am not sure of making a review video. 🙏
