    RE had a real sales success with both the 411 and 450 Himalayan, not to mention their retro models and I think the Guerilla may appeal to an even larger market. Anything that brings more riders into biking is a good thing in my book.

    The hype is worth it , in general RE is let everyone access 2 wheels with stylish designs at very affordable prices , other manufacturers need to take note. Not criticising but I don't think anyone has ever said I wish my bike had a screen I could play TH-cam on

    "Cheap" is not the word I would use. Words have meaning and "cheap" denotes crappy technology, manufacturing and quality of materials.
    "Affordable" better sets the tone that needs to be stated. It is affordable. It is worthy of purchase because the quality and value built into the bike is more than the sum of its On The Road cost. Well done look at a affordable, real world useful motorbike. I recall many years back when some magazine typists opined that "form should follow function" and that is possible whilst creating something worthy of not just a second look but also of owning.
    Style is back in style. This bike could be said to be the return to sanity and the Standard motorbike. Standard. Not "naked". I know I would never lay claim to riding a "naked" motorbike, but a standard? Yup. And this model sets the standard for what is best described as an "all 'rounder". Well done, Royal Enfield.
    Thank you for another excellent review in the real world in which we all ride.

      Perhaps you are different? Your choice but when you trade in a $25,000 BMW, Harley or Honda two years into your ownership you will loose far more than 2 or 3 grand. But you can console yourself knowing that somewhere someone is enjoying their life's choices regardless of what they paid.

    It's a great bike! Just traded my Hntr 350 in for one 2 days ago. If I had the room, I'd have kept the Hntr, because it's better than the Guerrilla in some areas but then it's a completely different animal. The Guerrilla, on the other hand, is certainly more exciting than the Hntr and handles really well with good brakes, as you pointed out. After a quick read of the manual, the functions on the screen are really quite intuative with the joystick and buttons. I'm looking forward to opening it up a bit after it's first service and, yes, that fuel filler cap thing is a bit annoying 😁At the end of the day, other bikes in this category are probably just as good but this is the only one that appealed to me, like the Hntr did. Well done Royal Enfield!!!👏👍👍

    Just bought one, I have three RE’s, Hunter, Scram and Interceptor,love them all but I’ve sold the Scram to get the GRR. Thrilled at the prospect of picking the new bike up but……trying to get it insured, nightmare. Apparently RE haven’t yet got it registered with ABI yet which means none of the insurers currently have it on their ‘system’ leading to no quote as computer says no! Currently paying about £150 for multi bike cover for all three of my current bikes. Got a quote from a leading bike insurance broker for just the GRR at £590 as it is currently deemed to be a ‘specialist bike’ in the absence of an ABI number. I’ve been told it should have an ABI number come October in which event it will be open to quotes from multiple bike insurers at a far more realistic price. But until then I’m rather stuffed as far as insurance is concerned. Suspect I will be forced to accept the silly price quoted but will look to cancel the policy once it is ABI registered and open to market competition. Just something to consider for prospective owners in the meantime. Great review as always

    Another great review. I wonder if Royal Enfield’s marketing strategy for the Guerrilla and Shotgun targeting a younger audience might be costing sales to the older riders looking at the bikes. I am not interested in buying the Guerrilla, but if I were I’d like a few more subdued color schemes. The base grey bike is the only one I wouldn’t feel too flashy on. The same applies to the Shotgun colors. My wife often rides with me, and my Interceptor is just not great for a passenger. I might consider the Shotgun, but not in the current colors. I understand trying to appeal to a younger buyer, but they need to consider aging riders as well. Keep checking those indicators…

    I managed to test ride one of these today whilst my Meteor was having its MOT at Manhattan Motorcycles Sheffield (brilliant little dealership by the way). It was great fun and plenty powerful enough for the Peak District roads!. Strangely you mention the mode button as being pointless without actually trying it. I would say it's a well considered option and very useful. In "eco" mode the throttle response was completely tamed and made negotiating Sheffields busy city roads an absolute breeze. On open roads the "performance" mode dramatically quickens up throttle and makes the bike feel significantly more lively and powerful....it's genius!
    I love my Meteor and don't think I could trade it for a Guerilla but I certainly think it could live alongside it in the garage! All I've got to do is persuade the wife this is a more urgent purchase than a new sofa!

    Morning Sean. I am not going to go into fine detail about this review, other than that I disagree with where you said about where it should be ridden. As you have no doubt seen my thoughts, for me, although obviously it will carve up city traffic with ease, the Guerrilla is outstanding on flowing A roads and twistie B road. It’s a proper hark back to the 80’s, where you have to ride it, as opposed to it doing everything for you. The throttle response is just something to get used to, it took me by surprise when I initially went up the road, but within 100 yards I was fine with it. Brilliant bike 👍

    What do you feel about the radiator placement and orientation, the speed 400 is tidier and I like the gold forks this looks like the forks are workmanlike. Like the chain opposite side to exhaust & calliper with the centre stand making chain maint easy.
    Would like twin clocks or not offset TFT good though.
    Like any human designed machine it's got some idiosyncrasies and personally I like longer mud guards but would prefer a flatter seat.
    I don't think it's Himmy or Goerilla it's vs Speed 400 is the direct competitor.

      Well I'm coming from a BSA Goldstar radiator which was one of the biggest on the new wave of water cooled classic bikes so for me both the G450 and Speed 400 have small neat rads. The G450 rad is also high up its away from road grit and dirt which has got to be a plus. I would probably have this bike without the fancy TFT, I get confused with all the functions TBH. I think prices of Hunters and Scrams are now sub £2k at trade in, which means you'll buy a 2000mile year old bike from a dealer at £2.8 ish... good value for sure.

I wanted a second bike to ride everyday instead of using my 600 all the time, but, although I loved the guerrilla and found it the most comfortable bike I've ever sat on, I didn't like the way the engine was egging me on all the time. My 600 makes me ride faster than I should so I want a relaxing ride. The guerrilla didn't like riding relaxed. It didn't like being ridden lazily. Was also shouting a bit loudly for an old duffer like me. I don't think I'm their market....

    The nice thing about adjustable suspension on sportier bikes is that you can dial out a lot of the firmness for when you're going up & down shit roads, then dial it back in before you go blasting away on track.
    For a bike like this though, you only really need rear pre-load to adjust to your mass.

    I test rode a Guerrilla on Monday, great bike with lovely handling and good brakes and surprisingly quick. The engine doesn’t like to pull from lower revs in higher gears, you need to go down the box a lot more than you would on a 411 or a 350. I though it was a bit of a hooligan bike as it did entice you to wring its neck quite a bit, it reminded me a bit of a Honda Hornet 600 I had about 20 years ago only milder ( to be fair the Hornet was lighter with twice the horse power and much better brakes, a real hooligan machine) . It’s a fun bike that makes you grin, but will encourage you to ride it in a more spirited manor. I liked it a lot but I’m going with a Kawasaki Eliminator 500se which is lighter with a little bit more power and a lot more torque, it won’t handle the twisties as well as the Guerrilla as it has less ground clearance but it will give slightly better performance and a more relaxed ride. It’s more expensive but Kawasaki are giving a £500 deposit contribution and on PCP they are the same monthly payment. If you want more sporty there’s always the Z500 or the Ninja 500.

    when it comes to being a fanboy of RE or Triumph, in this case Triumph means Bajaj/Triumph. But when choosing between the Shotgun 650 and the Speed Twin 900, I choose the Shotgun because it's appearance and riding position are better for me. But, the real question is, which do you pick, the Shotgun or the Guerrilla?
    Both offer comfortable riding postures, coupled with above average handling. The Shotgun certainly looks more wow, but the GRR450 is more practical, and much lighter.
    Could I please know your opinion, of what you think of the rear suspension for the GRR compared to the Shotgun.
    For our rough roads in northern Thailand, I would like more suspension travel from the GRR, do you know if RE will be releasing a Scram 450?

When I owned an RE, I did feel that Triumphs were always hyped up, then I bought one and suddenly felt that all the other modern retros were getting all the kudos. Maybe - and please don't take this the wrong way - your ownership of the BSA has heightened your awareness of compliments for the competition? We are tribal creatures, after all!
    By the way, that colour scheme is horrendous 😂 give me the Brava Blue all day long! 😁

      Who knows Ben, I could be open to bias. The BSA does have loyal owners but isn't that well liked by TH-camrs, most seem to spend the time documenting the problems with the Goldstar. I'm very tribal about Royal Enfield as well, which is really my disappointment when they get on this hype marketing agenda that reminds me more of a BMW GS1300 launch than an affordable little single type bike. When I watched the launch reviews of this bike, I was blown away by how positive they were but I've not watched that many dealership test ride type reviews, perhaps they are more balanced. Anyway good comment, thank you 😊

    Even though this bike is from india, we do not have the roads that you are seemingly enjoying there. So in Indian city roads I would not recommend this bike (too heavy) I'd rather buy a KTM

      KTM are a struggling bike company, please be careful investing you money into this brand.

      Too much wind noise or? Be specific it could be helmet muffle, mic placement. It doesn't help me to say just do better... thanks.

    BIKES OUT OF INDIA
    Try getting service and technical service information out of India, they are a joke, for a start most reviews in Hindi, as I said , jokers.
    I have a Suzuki AX100 and a VSTROM 250 SX I'm sure I have room to speak.
