Picking mine up tomorrow! Looking forward to it...not looking forward to running it in....

2 years of heavy riding and literally jumping from side walks 2 up and it is so much stable and easy to balance, a5t lower speeds it is much fun .

Stick girders,on front.,Weld up,swinging arm.flat metal bar,instead of shocks,..make it a kickarse mans bike!..pissing about with all this tarts technology..that'll sort the men from the children,..girder & rigid looks better 👌🏻👍

You could stop the video at 0:40. The way you look at your bike says it all ❤

The Hunter and the Speed were my two choices. I picked the Speed because of the HP. I'm in California (LA) were you need the extra power. Hunters are beautiful, I wanted the red one.

Does this shorten the overall length of the bike?

Thanks mate. I suppose the question would be that if you (personally) were in the market for an Interceptor or a Goldie without prior knowledge, which would you get? Stupid question, of course, because you have an Interceptor, but it’s an interesting one.

Are you sure that was a helicopter and not another Hunter with aftermarket exhaust? 😄 Thank a you for the informative video mate 👌

I have the same model and colour. Love at first sight and after 18 months that love still hasn't waned. With all the conventional mods and then some, it's all the bike I want it to be. Living in the far SW of Ireland, it's great for plodding down the local single track roads, many with grass up the middle, but - with sporty Mitas MC50 tyres mounted, it is also thoroughly engaging when pushed hard down some of the twisty B roads in the area. My poor old '07 650 V-Strom hardly got a look in over the period. Mods: tall RE crash bars, cheap no name side racks and a really nice and well build rear rack also from India, DNA stage 2, FuelX, and, unusually, a stainless steel decat pipe and 9" hooligan end can (Delkevic) that - although very loud - is not obnoxious and just enhances the sound of what is otherwise a small, long-stroke single in a low state of tune. The air filter and exhaust have each improved performance significantly, whilst also improving fuel economy (if I'm not caning it). And finally, a 16t front sprocket to give it slightly longer legs (at the cost of some of the gained performance). The stainless steel exhaust has different lines to the original and changes appearances significantly, doing away with the resto-mod styling and making the bike look altogether more old school. With no Images or video to be found in Google-Land, I took a risk buying the exhaust, as I hadn't a clue what it would sound like, nor if I'd like the looks, but, happy to say, I'm thoroughly delighted with both aspects. I'm no youtuber and a complete video novice, but lack of information on the exhaust motivated me to post a couple of videos on my own TH-cam channel to fill in the void. An acquaintance joked that she thinks this will be my 'forever bike' 😇

I've had mine since March, I put in 6000km so far. I bought it mainly for the look and affordability, reading reviews and opinions online got me a bit worried about performance and weight (as it is my first bike I really cannot compare) however so far there has never been a real life situation in which I felt unsafe or unable to keep up with traffic.

Had the same bike & loved it so much, managed to get a thousand miles on her before she was stolen for outside my place of work 😢 Thieves love small bikes. Currently running a XV950 😂

They only do oil change at the 300km service. I’ve just done my clearances at 600 miles and the exhaust was totally closed; inlet was tight too. I’d rather have a tight side stand than loose.

Your headlight did not come on when you turned on ignition.

How much taller is the new seat?

Wow! Great bike! I remember taking one on a test ride in 93, I had a Pantah 600 (still do) and immediately put the front wheel up in the air and nearly got kicked off the test ride. I do remember that the retail price was higher than the CBR900. I think it was around $8500 which ironically was about the same price in the states as the F1 750 biposto a few years earlier.

I swapped out the rear shocks on mine for some YSS shocks and got the 10% stiffer fork springs from Hitchcocks. Big improvements. Also some Bridgestone BT46 tyres much better than the CEATs. Ride it to work almost every day. Love it.

I test rode the Hunter and liked it in most respects. However I couldn't live with the ride quality which I found way too harsh on anything other than a perfect road surface. I'm hoping to have a ride on the Guerrilla in the next couple of weeks. The 452cc engine solves the J platform's lack of power and if the ride quality is better than the Hunter (I find it hard to imagine it being worse!) I'll probably do a deal.

I have this bike in the same colour. I agree with your assessment, except that I find the rear suspension too harsh, especially for my old bones (the wrong side of 70). I replaced them with Hagon shocks but still not soft enough for me. Perhaps I’ll change the bike for the new 650 Classic?

I heard JW Groombridge are closing down. Can you confirm?

I have this same model colour and agree with everything you say. Ride this more than any other bike I have and will not sell this one. Nice and simple to work on great sound looks good, what’s not to like

I agree quite a lot on the looks and tge size I nearly bought one but went fir the speed as my commute is 35 miles but was put off by the short service intervals valve adjustment system. I am expecting to see a number of private sellers of the Hunter as folk upgrade to the Guerilla and are disappointed with dealer trade in price, and might bite if the price is right.

It's strange how at the same time it can sound like a lawnmower yet also sounds quite characterful and charming

I would stay with the hunter. In the meantime there is a new Bullet beside it. Totally different and love both.

They already have an interceptor 650.. looks veryyy similiar to a speed twin.. and they also have a continental gt 650 cafe racer

I think it's not as specialized as some of the others. It's a bike for general every day use. Not a track bike or an out of the box scrambler. But a bike you can live with for all your needs.

Apart from the styling, which is subjective and I find a bit weird, I don't understand why the Ducati Scrambler "is a scrambler" and this is not. They seem very similar to me

Royal Enfield has its roots in a British arms manufacturer -- you may have heard of the Lee Enfield rifle. The same goes for the old BSA company; that stood for British Small Arms. That's why most of their bikes have a name that references soldiering or arms.

At 7:33, I liked the sound of the bike when you did your 40-60 test in sixth gear.

If you are military or veteran £220 discount I am that older rider Triumph are trying to make hay, now with the RE a direct competitor a discount should be available or some incentive. Bike lacks centre stand, bobbin mounts, and chain access is poor, my creen took 5 months to arrive after delivery so poor effort and other accessories like heated grips slow to become available. I do like the long servicing intervals and it's pretty nice to ride overall despite a bit of jerkiness on and off throttle and very optomistic speedo and mpg.

Can any one explains slipper clutch assistant in the nc750x manual ?

hunter is cool, this is definitely the supreme follow up though - yes, you should

Nice to see Buxted, Mares field, and Hadlow Down, very local to me, I take it you borrowed it from JWG ? No mention of them closing down 😮, shame about the weather, nice review, very informative.

Love these not seen one yet but going to look at them soon I’m interested in one next year just for back lane having a blast be fun bike I reckon easy to handle not to much power

A bit far from me, I go to Chinon and Tours for bike stuff. Send the details to a friend who lives in Agonac.

i own a hunter and test rode the guerrilla..... totally different feel..... i could own the guerrilla as well as the hunter, but no way instead of the hunter...... the hunter j series engine has so much charm that the guerrilla can not match

Mate how do you mount that sat nav? It’s a great idea, bike sat nav are a massive rip off. I have a perfect Garmin car sat nav I could use

Morning. I did my own YT review, and within 12 minutes 44 seconds, I just knew I needed a Guerrilla in my life. So bought one, and now running in. The ever so slightly lumpy tickover, is no worse than a Honda CRF250L I used to own, nor any other big singles. Admittedly the “urgency” at low speeds, or when pulling away, is just something to get used to, it is definitely keen to get going. The ride by wire throttle, seems a bit over sensitive, when jumping from a cable throttle, but again, it’s something to get used to. I see you noticed the bum rest on the seat 😂, that’s a handy design to prevent you sliding backwards under hard acceleration 😈. Probably like yourself, I get to ride a few very good bikes, but the Guerrilla is the only one in recent times, that has grabbed me enough to buy one. You just have to make sure you are in the right gear for the circumstances, or it will bog down, due to the revvy nature. Purists hate it, but I congratulate RE for moving forward. I do still have my Classic 350 too 😉. All the best.

The Guerilla is a do it all Roadster. In my view its far better than the Triumph Speed 400 particularly in the build quality department and particularly all the issues Triumph are having with the 400 range. Yes, the idle speed is lumpy and could do with sorting. The fly by wire throttle takes some getting used to but once mastered is fine. For the price of the Guerilla, the build quality and the thought that has gone into the bikes development there isn't anything to touch it currently. Don't forget this bike has been under development for the last 5 years and was developed alongside the Himalayan and is not a stripped back Himmi from the same parts bin. The Hunter is a great bike and I've been tempted by one but as a six footer it feels to physically small, I do love the styling and simplicity of it though. Ive had 3 Classic 350s and 3 Meteor 350s and traded the Classic in for a Guerilla and still have the Meteor as well. That J series engine is a peach as most people will agree. So far I'm loving the Guerilla having covered around 600 miles. I think if anything the Guerilla will make a big dent in the Interceptor market being a lot lighter with similar performance and at a cheaper price.🙂👍

Px it against a Speed 400.

I'd change my Hunter for the Interceptor, not the Guerrilla.

I tried a demonstrator the other day and the tick over was the same as yours hunting up and down, great bike though really enjoyed it

Great video. Some weird opinions.

Fit a 410 big bore on the Hunter and add a Kent cam. Retain the easy valve adjustment with home service.

It is a Roadster...ie like bikes used to be ....so you can commute ...tour ...and generally have fun ....we have become so used to ...Adventure bike ..blah blah ...sports bike ....sport tourer .....no this is for riding on the road for whatever you want to do you can do it on this bike ...simples really.

I'm doing the same gonna trade off my hunter to the dealership to this when its arrive here in Australia.

The new model's seat height is .6 inches higher.

I like that motorcycle. I would like to have it, but it's not a problem in money, it's a problem in the height of the seat and my height. I'm 198cm tall and that bike is too short for me. Why didn't Honda's engineers make it possible for tall drivers as well? I am very afraid of leg shortening surgery😀

I'm sorry, forgive my rudeness, but it looks, sounds, and go's like an utter piece of shit, pardon my French. I consider my self a real bike rider, and would rather never ride a bike again rather than cock my leg over an electric thing. Good video though.

I love the jacket and gloves. What brand is that?

How many packets of Dreamies did it take it take to get Kitty to cooperate😁
