This company seems to have their hand on the pulse of motorcycle enthusiasts. Everything they put out seems to be a winner. Affordable, quality products packed with a lot of fun.
Yeah but CF MOTO came out of nowhere for them.
@@adityan3208 Royala Enfield will have a slight more history,wh8ch it rides on heavily. But anyway
What is life without a the iconic thump of a single cylinder Royal Enfield 😂😂😂
@@adityan3208adi even today RE biggest market is Bharat(India) and CF Moto is not a problem here and nobody will choose CF over RE.
@@saikrishnathiwakarrk for Indians and People in the UK maybe, but if RE has to sell in other markets, the CF MOTO 450 has made it incredibly hard by offering a twin.
@@dsera2721 RE wants to be a top brand in all major international markets by 2029, that's their goal. That's why I said it.
Great review Freddie, and a pleasure to meet you again properly and ride with you! 😎
Eagerly awaiting your review as well!
2 ride together,and would i..???? got to see one 1st set on it and ride one.
two legends in one ❤❤❤ btw the 411 is still good for indian city riding but not so much for highway cruising
Pl😊@@skipwalker3269
Nice to see one of my favourite two-wheeler reviewers on this channel as well.
I love how R E has so many color schemes for their bikes. And their pricing is on point for todays economy
Correct. But for the 450 most of the colors beside the plain silver version look just cheap. Unfortunately the silver version is not available with TFT. A huge mistake…
@@ytuberizationi think that blue and white variant looks pretty good too, but that's about it
Hi Freddie, you are about the only man I have seen on TH-cam wearing trousers with creases for 10 years.
He looks good, though, no? Nice style sense. J
Looks a great bike this Freddie, right up my street - hope Royal Enfield will let me have a go on one soon!
What about himi 450😊
They will. It would be really hard to believe the wouldn't. :) Joke.
I'm surprised you weren't invited Mr Flyer!
Freddie, I don't just think the 450 is for the new biker market. I think they will sell well to the born again biker and more importantly, the older biker who doesn't need a heavy bike or immense power. The fact it has a centre stand and phone integration to the instruments gives it quite an edge over the Triumph 400's....
Looks like you found the best photo spots in the whole journey, and others got grilled in the sun😂😂😂
I had to very quickly rush over and grab the shady spots😆
😂@@FreddieDobbs
Nice one, it's a pity RE didn't give you one to ride home on some normal country roads instead of those oh so smooth Twisties you've been running around on
0:07
Seriously 🤣🤣🤣
Playa black is the colour for me
That is just perfect colour for this bike
This bike will go mental. And it has flat tracker/scrambler all over it. Just agreeing with Tim down below. It's like my old Honda FTR223 on steroids. And that is a very, very good thing.
Agree with that flat track ish vibe
I very much thought the same. To me, it looks like a baby Indian FTR.
With your unique style off precentation and with that tippical Englisch flavor makes this video even more elegant. My coffee fresh from the Jura and breakfast just finisht, was it again a pleasure to watch. THX Freddie
Same man.. its sunday in my country, i saw his review while breakfast and coffee..what calming sunday morning😊
THE ONLY channel that features the official Freddie Dobbs lean test!
You heard it here first folks
What’s the point of his lead test?
@@neilurquhart8622Many people will assume a bike is too heavy for them from looking at spec sheets, this shows that some bikes that are heavy are still very manageable because of how they position the weight. Dirtbikes have the lowest weight, but try leaning them at a standstill and you will struggle way more than this.
I can lift my 1200XC like that. I would imagine that not being able to or struggling could be a real intimidation factor.
He made this bike look very easy to handle for average males or even women.
@@logangodofcandy “even women”……?!
@@neilurquhart8622 women have much less bone density and muscle than men. They are also smaller, and it is well known in Power lifting that greater size equals greater power.
Not so much "even" woman. More especially women.
Good video sir.
It reminds me of Ducati Sixty2. I feel it’s going to be a best selling for RE.
And it’s time to improve the Classic 350 with this engine. 40 hp could be revolutionary for the most iconic RE bike.
Cheers!
Yes, I thought this. I always liked that smaller Ducati. Shame they canned it. Lack of foresight. The bike also has the look of an RD
This… is an excellent point re the Classic 350!
I have the Sixty 2 that the RE is clearly based on but the Ducati's finish is far superior.
@@FreddieDobbsI dunno, whilst a little bit more pep in the Classic would be good, I don't think a liquid cooled engine would fly for typical customers. People buy them because they want a stripped back, truly old school bike with the minimum of modern niceties required to make it a daily rider. I don't think liquid cooling and electronic ride modes is what prospective Classic owners want. I even wonder whether the upcoming Classic 650 using the existing 650 twin engine might put off some people for whom anything Classic/Bullet must have a dug-dug-dug air cooled single.
Not to say any of this would necessarily be off-putting to me, but when you're playing with the recipe of the oldest continuous model (Bullet) from the oldest continuous bike manufacturer (RE) you've gotta be careful - there's a lot on the line, and if you get it wrong there's kinda no going back!
The specs for the scrambler sixty2 and Guerilla are remarkably similar, with the exception of the engine configuration
If you were interested in the Hunter, but wanted some more power, then this is perhaps the bike for you. Outstanding value for money - many bikes lose £4800 in 3 years. Whilst the residuals of Enfields might not be huge, it’s all relative.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was just about to do a deal on an ex-demo Hunter but I've put that on hold until I can try a Guerrilla.
It's a no-brainer - do not bother with any of the 350s if you want to do confident highway riding
It is all relative but due to the lower residuals, more expensive bikes are cheaper on pcp.
Sunday morning, coffee and Freddie Dobbs. Loverly 👍🏻
Exactly what I’m doing.
And me!
Yep ! Ditto!! 👊
Yep I'm in!
True true
I love everything Royal Enfield do! The only annoying thing, is that I can't have one of everything!
Is that because they are cheap??
@@dazfromnz01Well, "cheap" is relative to where you live. Where I live I would call them "affordable", but not necessarily cheap.
@@Mybonesluis711 fair enough 🙂
good,simple,reliable,easy to work yourself,low gas consume
i love royal enfield!
Very good, probably the best presentation of alll the Guerrilla testes in Barcelona.. Greetings from Germany..🏍️👍
Gorilla testes?
@@sharif1306pretty big stuff…
@@superleggenda interesting trivia. Actually they're smaller than those of Human males. Apparently the less promiscuous the females are, the less sperm you need. 🤷
I can see a lot of the Hunter 350 styling on it. I can imagine it looks even nicer in real life
I was at cooper b motorcycles yesterday ordering my new Himalayan 450 and I was bigging up your channel to Ian the owner 💪
Ohh Freddie, I believe the base model at that price in the UK won't have the TFT but, the analogue version. The upper model just on £5K will.
These will make a great commuter motorcycle.
Thanks
The silver one has the same unit as hunter . The other verients have it . This color is top model and cost like 5050 buy middle varient is sub 5k and is exact same as this one just different paint scheme.
As an RE continental GT owner,if I'm ever to change my bike, this would be my next choice now. Great review Freddie, as always.
The people at Royal Enfield knows what the customers want.
I like your reviews best of them all because as a person having had a moped years ago and wanting to get a bike as my "first" one you seem yo explain things in an intuitive way that most inexperienced riders will understand. I feel like this video just sold me this bike!
Nice review Freddie. I think you've done the Guerrilla proud. This certainly isn't the first lightweight bike, loosely based on a scrambler platform to ever make it as a roadster. The Yamaha SRX600 springs to mind here. The heart of which was the excellent 600cc single cylinder motor which formed the heart of the dual street/off road XT600. Before that was the XT500, now a certified classic of the 70's, which was also presented as the SR500, another upright general purpose street bike. MZ utilised that same engine and put it into their excellent British engineered Skorpion roadster, creating a quintessentially lightweight roadster in the tradition of British cafe racers of the 50's and 60's. Such transformations are well aspected when you have a light yet powerful motor shoe horned into an equally lightweight chassis. Pure, simple motorcycling agility and elegance.
MuZ used the liquid cooked Yam 660 engine in the Skorpion, Mastiff and Baghira.
@@andrewfurniss8944 Of course, you're right. I should know coz I actually had one. A really fun and capable bike. Pity MuZ didn't make it.
The concept reminds me a bit of the SLR 650 - transferred in modern times with modern design influences of course.
I totally agree with you Freddy, that they have to be careful not to leave their path of success, designwise.
Great video!
There is nothing like a rosy Al enfield bullet. It’s an all time, all season, go anywhere vehicle for every day rider. It is not for adrenaline and racing but a most successful, ever lasting motorcycle that I have known.
Simply looks beautiful. I totally agree that bike will sell.
I have the Hunter 350, and this Guerrilla 450 is the first other bike on the Royal Enfield line that is really making me think of getting a new one. For me, the importance is ability to stand on the pegs, good instrumentation (fuel, gear, nav..), good handling, good looks, and a non-jerky throttle. Darcy said on his channel the Guerrilla 450 doesn't jerk like a Speed 400 from Triumph. That's good news, as I thought only slow engines like the 350 J-series can be unjerky. But, if they can make 40 hp without jerkiness in on/off throttle situations in a roundabout, then I am absolutely excited for it. Alas, I still think my next bike will be an automatic CVT like a simple Honda PCX125, it left a lasting impression on me on a test drive riding foot out at maximum throttle out of corners and traffic lights, and no clutch work. My dream is a supermoto with good ground clearance, Derbi Senda X-treme like ergonomics, weight and dimensions, but with scooter CVT transmission that gets better than 2.6l/100km 110 mpg (UK). An absolute hooligan bike that is easy to jump curbs, and easy to ride in the city traffic withot hand on clutch all the time, will save on fuel w.r.t. to car use, doesn't need a 1-2 minute warm-up time like a big air cooled 350cc, so you can ride immediately, and you can always keep the throttle pinned while 100% in control. But other than that, the my existing Hunter 350 is really frugal, fun to ride and will curb hop just fine. I don't feel clumsy or agitated on it, and if that Guerrilla will go past 140 km/h, while retaining that ride quality, then it is a seller.. I like the round headlights more than the wasp's eyes we get in other motorcycles like the BMW G310R.
I too love the rounded headlights feels retro and purposeful.
Awesome video! Was absolutely great to share that day with you.
Anyone else think it looks like a street/flat tracker? I think it looks brilliant,,slap some mild knobblies on and start flicking it sideways on the dirt i reckon?
True that ... A perfect looking street bike with scrambler like aesthetics as he said
I'm keen to hear what sort of electronic traction control it has for this exact reason
Yep And pretty sure RE has thought about it. This bike reminds me of my Honda FTR223 that I had in Asia. My fave bike of all time for where i was and where i rode. This bike will sell.
I think you’re bang on (and on the tyres point too👌🏻)
@@mantarayal I'm in Southeast Asia and literally own an FTR223 now - the Guerilla surely looks like one too. Although not what I'll move on to, my use case has changed.
Great review, this is the first RE that appeals to me. I am not a new rider, but I would consider this as a back road / gravel road scrambler that at its price you could drop and not cry about it.
Half the time I watch Freddie I'm just admiring his aesthetic, love the fits Fred, you need to do a few mens fashion uploads, at first I was wanting to research what I wanted for my first bike, now I was wanna know how to look good on said bike like Fred lol.
Great to see a modern bike with a proper front mudguard. Surprised you did not divulge the seat height.
If I remember well, 780 mm according to the information available on RE website.
Nice one Freddie, looks like you had the perfect weather for your review. Beautifully filmed with music that always complements. As always love to Monika and yourself and see you on the next one 👍
Nice bike! I hope RE sells a boatload of them!
Excellent review Mr. Dobbs! Wouldn't mind one here in South Africa.
Another great review Freddie, thanks....I can see Enfield playing about with this platform in a similar way to Ducati and their Scrambler....Braced bars, knobbly tires, trick exhaust and upgraded suspension would make this an excellent little scrambler (mini-desert sled). Likewise, pitch the ergos over the tank a little more, flatter bars, upside down forks, short front mud guard and a shorty exhaust and this is a cafe-esque urban tool that would be loads of fun. I think theyre on to something with this one and hope they've given their designers and engineers a green light to play around with it....Itll be interesting to see what (if anything) they come up with...
This is a great competitor to the Triumph Speed/Scrambler 400
Lovely bike Freddie you looked amazing riding it. Great camera shots of you on it and loved the slow mo of you on the corners great video thanks
I hope you're making enough money to keep banging out these great videos. You were made for this.
Btw, nice pants as opposed to leggins-fashion of the day.
Great review Freddie, I am sure it will be a success for RE. In addition to the points you made I like the fact it appears to have a proper front mudguard to help keep it clean.
Yup, I agree with that and proper stanchion protection with those gaiters and a seat you sit in rather than on.
you have the gift for reviewing bikes
Fantastic looking bike. I want a 2nd, small cc bike and this has made the short list.
I will give Freddie the award for most stylishly dressed reviewer on the day.
Great video Freddie.
Particularly liked the scenes of you riding the curves.
Both standard and slow motion.
Well done.
You belong on TV channels around the world mate. Informative and your thoughts delivery is top notch Sir...
Seeing a beloved company slowly mastering what was unthinkable for them feels so so good.
They've probably made the centre of gravity quite low to make it nice & nimble in the corners which is why you didn't find it hard to lift, it's not always about how heavy a bike is but more how & where the weight is distributed.
Freddie and Monica, you know I comment now and again, usually when I'm really touched or affected by your video. This one does it again, .... Royal Enfield must be loving it, the quality, the music, the patter, the production. Amazing. You have both found your vocation. Don't ever stop. And if you are ever in the Peak District contact me for a ride out!
Mate so happy to see you,back .and I think thess bikes make so much sense. I had a fire blade .in 2nd gear I was doing over 100 mph. Bye bye licence .this is the real biking .☺
Great review. I agree, this is going to be a massive seller for Royal Enfield. And rightly so, in fact I reckon one will end up in my garage...
this channel deserves more attention ❤❤
Man....wish you continued success in this channel....the way you tell a story...the content..the insights...bloody amazing
This bike has an appeal of a roadster.....a light scrambler with the soul of an ADV
You make such nice reviews! They are an absolute treasure!
Royal enfield should bring back that 1980’s 50cc moped back with motorcycle like power and performance. It was a powerful, very well built vehicle that would survive, high population urban traffic, muddy, rural roads and off roads even in rainy season and carry a passanger or a load of cargo. This I was riding in India even on national highway and on unsaved rural canals in rain or shine. If this vehicle is revived with modern technology and creature comfort, it would sale like a hot cake worldwide.
The zundapp derived Explorer which was sold by RE was a 50cc 2 stroke motor. Now in the era of four strokes, the companies need to start from 100 cc to get any meaningful output and that is a crowded place.
@@rajeshnair9390 it was named *silver. Largest fuel tank for mopeds of the time, bigger wheels and wide tires. This 50cc would go with the traffic on National highway and even capable to pass trucks and lorries. It was amazing that where Bullet would get stuck in muds on rural roads, this moped would get away with it.
@@rajeshnair9390 On Indian roads with speed limits of 60Km even on highways, well built 50cc is more than enough. Plus fuel efficiency it gives would save tons of foreign exchange for a country which must rely on imported oil. Save money and reduce pollution. Indians must focus on public transport to every neighborhood with use of trains, light rails, trams and buses/vans running on electricity. This would turn country from being hot for all year around to four seasons to enjoy and clean air means better health as bonus.
Hope they pay Freddie a percentage...can't get a much better ad than that for the bike. Can't argue with the price...or the looks. Freddie does say 'the best roads I've ever ridden'....so how will it handle on good old British potholes?
I don’t normally watch bike reviews anymore but I really enjoyed watching this one the film through the corners was really good
Now, if it is so, check what I do, I am small and I will like this of quite a long time. :) Joke, but still a lot of truth in it.
What's biking is all about. Affordable enjoyable and cool😊
if you change the front guard or maybe the front suspension, no one can actually think its a roadster bike. i can see your Scram perspective Freddie
Nice one, Freddie.
I do wish it was 180 kg or less in weight. Otherwise, everything seems just right.
That exhaust needs to change. Also, adjustable levers would be preferable.
Why the off-centre speedo console? Central would have been perfect.
The off-centre tank cap is right for better filling when tilted. If the performance is at 25km per litre or more, then a 11 litre tank is acceptable.
All things considered, a great job by RE. Now to ride one and perhaps buy my 'second' RE😊.
Great video, it does look more like a scrambler and I would think many people with a few cosmetic modifications will make it more scrambler-esk without taking it off the road. It's a good price too but I think a 500 would have made it a bit more attractive for the European market.
Spot on what you're saying about them needing to be careful. This isn't their niche. It could be any other bike on the road. But when you see a classic, interceptor or even a meteor you know straight away what it is. This looks quite anonymous to me.
Can't wait to see the RE Classic/Meteor/Bullet 450's as your reviews of the old ones are amongst your favorite bikes Freddie, to me the Guerilla looks like a crossover between the Triumph Speed 400 and a Ducati Icon
At this price, it seems Royal Enfield has found an inexpensive way to entice young people into the world of motorcycling. Freddie, thank you for the video.
Freddie you looked to be having a great time flying along the roads in Spain. Lucky you! The Guerilla looks like another winner from Royal Enfield. I wouldn't call it a Scrambler or a Roadster - It's just a basic motorcycle that a person can ride almost anywhere there is a road or a pathway. I LIKE IT !
Great review, I think you hit it on the head with your thoughts about this being a scrambler, even down to the tyres. It's strange that RE market this way. In my mind the SM 650 is definitely a Sportster. The seat is not low slung like a cruiser and the rake is to upright, very similar to the old HD 883 and 1200 Sportster. I think the bike is clearly aimed at the UK market, where small capacity bikes are more popular, it will be interesting to see if the A2 market adopts it here in Spain as they usually prefer larger A2 restricted bikes. Mainly because we have so many uncongested roads and highways. But yes it's definitely a scrambler in my eyes too.
If money wasnt the limitation, I would buy everything you present, soley because you infuse the sentiment of riding with the technical gimmicks l.Well presented sir
Was going to get a Triumph Speed 400 but now I'm thinking the white/blue Guerilla! Love that it has GPS functionality and a centre stand.
speed is still better. same price with usd forks. better build quality. anyways both are made in india.
you are better sticking with the triumph speed 400 2024
Thanks… looks great value for money … well done RE 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's going to make a proper stable mate to my Goldwing, i can't wait.
A very professional down to earth review Freddie RE will be well chuffed….ride safe…
Nice review Freddie and I agree with other comments, RE just keep making bikes that people actually want..hats off to them and in my opinion, the big four could probably learn a thing or two from RE..listen to your customers would be a great starting point 😁👍
Great video Fred, some fantastic shots. Serious contender to the triumph 400 variants 👍🏻
A fantastic bike mate 👍, Paul from Australia, I had a Ducati Scrambler 800 Urban Enduro when they came out in 2016 I believe ? , was a ok bike BUT not worth the say 9000 UK pounds I paid , Great 👍 review mate .
Sweet. Big up to the new Himalayan in terms of design in my book. I like what they did with the plate holder. It hugs the line more like a regular mudguard and does not look alien like on most other modern bikes.
Finally, someone said what it supposed to be. Great video
To me it reminds me of triumphs new 400 single speed & scrambler offerings.
At £1000 less looks good but the triumphs at £1000 more must have weight and catch in this segment.
Sure people will be considering both in their decisions.
Nice bike imo.
Triumphs speed 400 is just a shitty low quality bike
This and the Speed 400 are the same price - £4995 to just over £5k, at least in the UK
@@sir_prize_ma_the_farcar4547 And yours is just a shitty low quality comment, with no actual facts to back it up.
@@sir_prize_ma_the_farcar4547 Every review of the Speed 400 has said the exact opposite...that the 400 maintains the same quality level as the upper end Triumphs. It is RE, not Triumph that still needs to prove themselves where build quality is concerned.
Best RE Guerrilla review so far, Freddie.
Excellent video as always Sir Freddie ❤❤ much appreciated, hi from Holland
Awesome video as always, Freddie! Those beefy tires look delish!
First of all, like always you nailed the styling, the trousers are great. :) Back to the bike... you are right, it is gonna be hard or even impossible to sell the 411 from now on and I agree about the dash... this one is just was better than the double one they have on other models. Rode the Himalayan and was quite impressed by the engine and overall feel of the bike. The question is... would you go for the higher seat on this one?
Great review , fantastic locations adn cinematography
Love your videos Freddie, just a joy to watch, greetings from Germany
Thanks Rick, sending all my best to you over in Germany🇩🇪
I'm probably the only one but I see a hint of the original naked 350LC about this bike. Love the look of it. Can't wait for a test ride. (Looks better than the Ducati Scrambler to me as well).
Yes, agree on the Scrambler aesthetic. This.should be a big seller...
Not designed for off road just Indian roads. What’s Multi Strada translate to? 😀 Great review Freddie and I like the background information to the launch. That was an early start with the time change, well done. BTW I love the white and light blue, very Ducati.
Gorgeous looking bike
The name is Dobbs, Freddie Dobbs…licensed to ride. Thanks to the honest review of the Guerilla, by Royal ENfield. WE will probably see them in Canada in 2026…sad😢😢😢
A great review of the bike ! You have persuaded me I need to ride the bike as my garage is missing a single cylinder machine. The only negative comment was shouted from the other side of the living room when you suggested the pillion seat was good for 30 minutes “what about an hour & a half ! “ came the cry from the woman who’s normal seat is the back of my Moto-Guzzi V100S Mandello. What is clear is I need to look at both this bike and the Triumph and see if which bike does it for me however the single cylinder bike requirement might be a second hand Yamaha MT-02……. A bike I should never have sold.
12:45 The sonority of the air intake note, accellerating, reminds me of my little single cylinder Moto Guzzi. Nice.
I absolutely love the look of that bike. I definitely think it has a roadster feel about it. Watch out Triumph!! It’s a shame it’s not a 650.
How do you always manage to add such appropriate soundtracks to your video. Very much in-keeping with style of your video subject matter.. 😊😊
More than just a great review, Freddie makes us feel like we are part of the adventure which is really lovely! ! I wonder, did I miss the part where you cover the fact this is only the 2nd time in their long history RE has built a liquid cooled machine the other being the new Himalayan? I could see the cap on the radiator so it surely wasn't an oil cooler..... this clearly sets it apart mechanically from all the others...maybe in a good way?
In the USA here, I hope this gets here soon. I am currently looking at the xsr700/900. But this bike is half the price and sexy as hell. The seat is the only thing I would want to change right away, it looks plastic. But other than that, I really like it.
I'm with you Freddie a couple twice it be a great scrambler. Maybe a bit of competition for the Triumph 400...
Here in India,the ex-showroom price of the base variant of Guerila 450 is 2.39 lakh rupees ( 2219 pound sterling). .
& the price of top variant is 2.54 lakh rupees ( 2360 pound sterling)
That's taxation, retail mark-up, and import costs for you!
In Portugal they Punish Indian Motos 😢 The expected price will be around 5800€
@C-L-D-H From what I hear in Portugal, they make driving expensive for everyone..... not that its much better in UK!(and likely only get worse🤬)
Freddie I'd love to see you review the Honda GB350S aka CB350RS. It's unfortunate that Honda isn't selling it in Europe/UK.
Nice to see you twisting on the same roads that I ride!
I saw the new Himalayan yesterday. Look like very well put together, grown up motorcycle. Looking forward to this one, I’ll need a ride, with a possible purchase.
It also has decent mudguards front and rear.
Im sure if you fitted a sump guard, raised the front mudguard a tad and added the appropriate tyres it could be whatever you wanted it to be.
