The Royal Enfield 450 Guerrilla has arrived - 10 minute review with our first impressions! 

You always give a good review, easy to listen to plenty of detail . Thank you 😀

Nothing worse than a bike with a peaky power delivery on the road, a broad spread of power means relaxed riding but an ability to cover the ground with seemingly little effort!. I reckon just like the new Himalayan it's going to be a real hit. Well done Royal Enfield and thanks for the preview Hitchcocks, cheers.

Quality no nonsense review, thank you.

Can’t wait to test drive this baby! Hasn’t arrived here in México, though. Asked the dealer here and said they don’t have a date. Guess I’ll have to wait.

Probably the best video on this bike.

Good informative video. I pick mine up next Tuesday (can't wait) ...... same colour as yours, 'Playa Black'. I'm subscribed so will keep up to date with any accessories you can offer. Cheers, Phil (Somerset)

Thanks for this video, regards from Italy 👋👋

RE sure are confusing me, they now make 4 bikes I would like to own. Himi, Continental, HNTR and now this one 🤔

Good looking bike. Big Rock Moto did a really nice review of the new Himalayan and suggested it was the best entry level ADV out there. Over the KTM 390, BMW 310 and Honda 500X. Very competitive quality and price. This bike is really good looking, too. I wonder if it has the same or similar high adjustable seat as the Himalayan does.

Nice presentation but, as noted by another viewer, this is not a long stroke engine. It has an 84mm bore x 81.5mm stroke, which means it produces its power in an utterly different manner than traditional RE singles. I bought and rode the new Himalayan 452 but really didn't like the lack of bottom end torque. I sold it and went back to a 411 for green lanes and tracks. What the Sherpa engine is suited to, even in the Himalayan, is road riding, on full throttle. I would imagine that it's perfect, in those conditions, for the Guerilla. Setting off, on steep hills with a pillion will need a lot of revs, though.

👍no nonsense review have looked at it ride in next fortnight will probably add to my bikes😅

Triumphs do not have centerstands...along with most others , Honda included (CMX500 is actually 471cc). Ditch the EPA silliness. Ditch the "A2" silliness. Retune to OVER 100hp / liter with K&N air filter...providing just over 50hp total. Wah La ! A PERFECT motorcycle. I like the Blue & White.

Thanks for the video. Rake is 21.8° and wheelbase 56.7 inches. Unusual combination. be interested to know what the engineers were trying to do there.

I think this is real competition to the Triumph.

Nice review, nice bike! Something that is not mentioned with regards to competition is that when you consider KTM or Triumph you get the "cheap" and "compromised" version of the brand... but with Royal Enfield that's it. That's the brand and that is really important for me. Connotations matter.

Have ridden the Gorilla strikes me as a young man's machine very very hard rear suspension but great handling generally but I still prefer the 350 classic more laid back in all respects.

The solution is simple, BUY BOTH, RIGHT NOW.

Thank you for the video, Derek. One of the unknowns, as yet, is pannier placement. I assume that you / Hitchcock's will be (among) the first to address it. In the 411 Himalayan and "Scram" pairing, one could still fit RE panniers and top box. From your in-person view of both bikes, does it appear as though the same will be true for the 452 Himalayan / Guerrilla? If the bum-end is different, do you think RE will address the need for the roadster luggage? Thanks for reading. John in Colorado.

Nice video, nice bike and I do not like color schemes, only love the grey. RE is doing the things very well lately.

Hmm, I wonder if the 17 litre Himalayan tank will fit ?

Waiting for the mods video❤

The Himalayan rides like something out of Soviet Russia, so I’m not expecting much from the Gorilla, but thanks for the video.

Brilliant bike, but they should have put the upside down forks on it

I have an interceptor ,l was hoping RE, would have brought out 650 scrambler by now. Looked at the new triumph 400 scrambler. , don't want to drop anymore bhp,

Sorry for the awkward question, How tall are you, just to have a reference, to have an idea what the reach of the legs will be to the ground.

I think it's probably a lovely bike to ride and it looks decent but I'd never choose it over the speed 400.

Sorry Derek, but the rear lights are dangerous. You can't see the indicators when the brake lights are on

There is a huge advantage to the bikes being built in India by Bajaj. They are significantly cheaper in India, so they get tons of aftermarket support from India and China. Cheap farkles for *everybody*!

Looks like they looked at the Leoncino 500 before they built this thing.

the way he describes this motorbike I'm sure if I should ride it, eat it or take for a walk on a leash,

It’s a hipster…not good enough looking to replace the Hunter….its closest relative is the Scram

It's a short stroke engine 😊

Nice machine but the exhaust needs changing.

Interesting bike, but.....I would prefer a twin cylinder hunter...a "super hunter"....

It looks like a old RD 350!!! Bloody Goppin!💩💩💩💩💩🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
