    I love mine 😊 Fitted heated grips and a powered quad lock for my iPhone. I’ve seen 160 KPH indicted, probably around 150+. That’s enough to lose your licence here in NZ, so I’m happy enough! Puts a smile on my dial every time I ride it. It’s my only bike and manages every task. I’ve owned bikes from a 1974 50cc Gilera to a Hyabusa and everything in between like an RD500 and a HD Ultraglide, and this bike is FUN 🤩 Great review! Keep up the good work 🙏

    I think I read that the term Guerilla was first used to describe the Spanish campaign against Napoleon’s invading army over 200 years ago. They couldn’t defeat him in a conventional battle, so used hit and run tactics. It roughly translated as “small war”. So not necessarily terrorist related.
    PS thanks for the fab review, passed on to a neighbour who’s thinking of upgrading from a 350 RE. Keep them coming, I’ve given up Facebook for New Year so you are now my main entertainment 🤣

    As modern bikes go it looks better than those grotesque mechanical insects that tend to pass for motorcycles these days . The only niggles I can see , are the paint job looks like they ran out of red paint & finished it in gold . The speedo needs repositioning looks weird being over to one side & would prefer a proper cable operated throttle & just standard clutch & gears . That ACF 50 is to treat the inside of airframes to prevent condensation causing corrosion , not for parts exposed to attack from direct road & salt spray . I only use it on the inside of box steel swing arms on motorcycles. The hosing off the salt after every salty winter ride as you suggest is the best method to help combat or limit salt & road spray corrosion . Happy new year by the way 👍

    Happy New Year! Just one point that is worth mentioning when comparing this to the Triumph 400's, especially when weighing up running costs, is that with this being over 400cc it will be in a higher tax band every year which is currently £30ish per year, not a deal breaker, but who knows in future years.

    I've seen your reviews on this and other REs and also read viewers' comments. What impresses me most is that there is hardly a single negative opinion about REs! Are they really that good despite being built to a budget?
    Having not bought a bike for 8 years now, I'm feeling the itch again. The thing is, I already run 2 bikes and a scooter and would not like to replace any of them. I'm a firm believer in using bikes as often as possible. Each of my bikes gets ridden between 2,000 and 5,000 kms per year. Having more bikes would mean there is a greater probability that they simply lie in the garage for days/weeks on end with all the negative consequences that this entails. Great video as always, by the way!

    4:50 - I see why the sub 500 market is tough to crack. The established reviewers are so accustomed to $25,000 bikes that they really don't care about anything else. It's like Top Gear as they basically only reviewed supercars for billionaires.

      @@TheMissendenFlyer Yes, you may make the offer. Criticism can be difficult to hear and harder to read. For getting through this you don't need to "refund" my time or anything. The point is that you actually listen instead of banking criticism in the "ignorant haters" section of your memories.
      A lot of people feel shut out of the market. To get reviews that are honest about bikes under $7,000 I have to look up India UA-camrs! To you, all of them are "poors" in a "developing nation" where those bikes are actually loved and respected... To you it's such a drag to ride that bike... That's how I felt when repairing wine coolers for millionaires. I felt no attachment or attraction to their lifestyle, or the things that I made to facilitate it.

      @Ali-e5h1b an interesting perspective. I hadn't thought of it like that, but you have a point. I feel similarly attached to my humble €4000 second hand 18 year old 650 thumper. It was much slandered at the time, but for me it is my ticket to freedom and adventure; my therapist actually (yes, that old adage).

    When i decided to change my bike i looked at the Triumph, the RE and the Eliminator and chose the later. The RE was my next choice but the build quality and the sportier 451 engine did it for me. The Guerilla i really liked but the Kawasaki just had that extra Japanese class, in my opinion.

    Up to nearly 3,000 miles on my Guerilla since September, brilliant bike. Only one negative is all the tech on the dash screen that works via a joystick, for us old uns its not needed and indeed I'm not sure mine is working correctly. The base model comes with an analogue speedo and tripper sat nav, far better option for me.
    Tried both the Triumph and the Guerilla and there's no contest, the Guerrilla wins hands down. Also the Triumph appears to be a troublesome bike at the moment with many owners complaining about reliability, availability of parts etc. Glad I went for the Guerrilla.🙂👍

    The Triumph Speed 400 does look prettier, but the Guerrilla 450 looks like an excellent bike for the price. If you went for the Guerrilla 450 in Smoke Silver, which looks nice, it's only £4850! Not only that, but Royal Enfield sometimes have promotions and offers on. They've just had an 'Autumn Reward' offer on some of their other bikes, and they were giving either £650 reward towards an Interceptor or Super Meteor 650, or £350 reward towards a HNTR 350 or the Meteor 350. You can't argue with those prices for a brand-new bike! The Guerrilla 450 would be an excellent choice for commuting, it's light and agile, it's cheap to run, the fuel economy is about ~70mpg, and it's got just enough poke for when you need it, what's not to like!

I use a Garmin Zumo XT (as I often find myself in area’s of poor or zero mobile internet), the speedo reading compared to GPS is +2mph. When riding on mucky roads, the back end really does get covered in c**p, largely due to the hopeless hugger thingy, but the Guerrilla is so easy to clean. From really mucky to nice and clean in 10 minutes. Cheers

    Guerrillas are not terrorists. Guerrilla is a tactic that any military force can utilize to gain the upper hand in the long run by avoiding where the enemy is strong and attacking when and where they are weak and is not just confined to physical force, but can utilize psychological and propaganda tactics as well to boost friendly morale and hurting enemy moral.
    Guerrilla tactics can be used in both rural and urban environments. Same with this bike. It can be used in both environments.
    Cheers!

    This is one of the bikes I am considering for the Philippines. It has to be 400+cc to use the skyway’s(freeways). This bike doesn’t break the bank. Support from a dealer network will be a potential issue.

      Dealers in Makati and Pasig on Luzon, kuya Doug, Dealers also in Cebu City in the Visayas and Dipolog in Mindanao. But given that you're mentioning the Skyway, I'd guess you're in Manila, or it'd probably be the NLEX/SCTEX if you're Angeles way... Just be careful on the EDSA, that central bike-lane is bloody lethal!

    Nice review, seems like a nice bike. The only thing that puts me off, (vertically challenged), is the lack of factory seat height lowering solutions. I know there are aftermarket bits for the Himalayan and possibly others, but it woukd be nice if they catered 'at source' for little people. (Most Indians I know, aren't that tall!).

    This is the best colour combination they offer for this model, to my opinion. I have anly tried sitting on it, but it was one of the ergonomically best bikes of the EICMA! Considering the speed limits of today, it's probably the best bang for the bucks you can get. If it also doesn't vibrate like crazy at 120 km/h, then it's a winner. Did you have any issues with false neutrals? I've had that on Classic 350 and Shotgun 650 test bikes. This is for me a big warning sign regarding the durability...

    Happy New Year. Living in a big hose is overrated mate. So many rooms to heat... and the maintenance costs. OK, there's room in the garage for a few bikes but as a single man, I only really need 2 rooms!

    Baffles me that in the 21st century we still use salt on roads. Surely there's some sort of alternative that doesn't kill vehicles, concrete, creeks, soil... Giving expensive vehicles cancer on purpose is just nuts not to mention expensive and the other impacts.

    Age has turned me into a Fairweather rider, in other words a 'Wimp'...However l still remember how awful it was having to ride in the winter months with no electrically heated anything... You're correct about the terrible corrosiveness of the salted roads, Certainly the number one enemy of any motorcycle. Probably best to avoid riding in such conditions if at all possible...l suspect its a lot easier now as most Bikers own cars as well... Have a prosperous New Year for you Andy and your wife...

      I've been riding motorcycles for 34 years and for most of that time I've not had a car. But after careful consideration over all those years, I've come to the conclusion that winter riding is not much fun. Avoiding winter riding is not being a wimp, it's being sensible, if you can avoid having to....

    I see that you're taking-out the funeral procession 😂!
    I passed a stopped line of cars waiting for a flagger with one lane closed in Vermont years ago. When I got to the front of the pack the flagger straddled my front tire, grabbed my handlebars, and yelled to the other flagger to call 911! They were screaming that I was a maniac and they held me until the police arrived. America has very conservative views on filtering/ lane sharing.

    As for salt on the road. What about if it's dry? Would I need to wash it off still?
    I had the dealer already apply protection but that was 9 months ago.
    Now the gritters are out I will still ride but only in the dry.
    Do i need to wash it down?

    Is there much of a waiting time in the UK to purchase a new Guerrilla and are all the colours available?...I enquired yesterday about the Guerrilla where I live in Australia and was told there was only 2 colours available to choose from and they were 2023 models..I told them I was after a new bike, not a 2023 second hand one...Can you get hold of the 2024/25 model in UK easy enough?
