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.
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.
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.🙂👍

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

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
I'd change my Hunter for the Interceptor, not the Guerrilla.
I'm doing the same gonna trade off my hunter to the dealership to this when its arrive here in Australia.
Great video. Some weird opinions.
Px it against a Speed 400.
