The red and gold version is probably targeted at older RCB fans.

But there seems to be a clear bifurcation in variants with the lower ones receiving the Meteor's console (with optional Tripper pod maybe) and the higher one getting the Himalayan 450's TFT console.

That is wishful thinking but I hope your expectation turns out to be true, heck I'd even take a sub180KG dry weight as victory.

Is it just me or does the tank appear to be slightly smaller? Visually it seems to be so.

If so, then along with the removed the tank guards and the spoked rims there will be a definite weight loss.

Also curious how much of difference in weight the right side up forks have over an upside down forks.

With the color schemes in the video, the tyre tread patterns and the instrument placement the Guerilla 450 gives off Ducati Scrambler vibes!

The weight seems to have gone done from 432 pounds to 403 pounds, according to one of the foreign websites. That's 183 kgs.

There is a yellow Guerilla spy shot as well

Well, its here.

RE bikes and poor tyre choices seem to go hand in hand. For years people continued buying their 650s with poor tyre options after tyre ban and now we have a 160 section for the rear. You have bikes like the ZX4RR and the new hornet 750 riding with 160 section tyres with twice the power, why this needs a 160 section is beyond me. Hell, even the 390s could do with a 140 section.

Never beating the gorilla allegations with that 185kg weight either

Seems a bit off from the front, maybe it's me being used to the Himalayan's tall face that causes that feeling. Regardless, seems well priced vis a vis the Speed 400, for the extra 50 displacement. Not sure if people will like it though, it's very unlike Royal Enfield in appearance and I assume feel as well, let's see.

I for one love this refreshing new design from RE.

I believe this is the direction they need to take if they want to remain competitive in the global market and bring in a new set of riders into the fold. They cannot afford to rely on the Classic 350s and Interceptor 650s alone.

Hope it is as nimble and agile to ride as it looks, and is reliable as well!

[sandeepmohan]

Love it. I look at it as a companion to the Hunter. A slightly bigger brat bike.

I get the feeling that this is staring directly at a British brand selling a motorcycle at similar cubic capacity.

[kedar3223]

Can anyone with knowledge of the industry explain how the fuel tank capacity of a vehicle is decided upon? Is it a criteria decided from the onset or is it a byproduct of the design? 11lt fuel tank on a 450cc? Doesn't that severely restrict the use case of a motorcycle/deter people from considering one.

I love this!

A bigger, beefier hunter with refreshing colours, a 40ps engine, chonky tyres, and a decent price tag to boot.

A few observations from my side :-

1. As with the hunter, the guerilla will get brick bats from RE loyalists for being too far right from their traditional retro design language. But it’s necessary to attract a new riding base and build up on the hunter which is a runaway success.

2. The accessible seat height of 780mm will provide universal appeal. Pair this with the funky colour options, less kerb weight and you have a bike which appeals to the growing league of women riders.

3. I’m not complaining about the fat tyres at all. The 11 litre tank says it all. The bike is designed to be an urban hoonigan. It needs tractability from 40-80, 60-100 which the 40 horses are more than adequate for. The tyres give more street cred and look awesome.

4. This segment is heating up with the triumph twins, the KTMs and now this. 40bhp is the new 20-25bhp of 5 years back. No complaints here!

They could have carried over the bigger himalayan tank. Would have saved money and been useful as well. Why do manufacturers keep doing this I wonder.

[PreludeSH]

Looks little modern for a change. They need to fix the colour combinations. Only the silver one looks good. Even I thought its what Hunter is to the classic chassis, this is for the Himalayan. Since its driven on roads, the petrol tank size is fine.
