                  • Gorgeous looks
                  • Exciting performance from the peaky motor

                  Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450

                  • The bike gets the same engine as the Himalayan 450. It offers plenty of performance in the adventure bike, so expect similar levels of performance in the Guerrilla too.
                  • Being lighter and smaller than the Himalayan in terms of dimensions, the Guerrilla should be easy to manage in everyday commutes.
                • Jawa 42 Bobber

                  • The engine’s peaky nature leads to vibrations on the handlebar, footpegs, and fuel tank
                  • Should have gotten a smoother gearbox
                  • Fit and finish levels of the instrument console could have been better

                  Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450

                  • Instead of the more advanced inverted fork, the Guerrilla 450 gets a traditional telescopic fork.
                  • The 11-litre fuel tank is 6 litres smaller than the one in the Himalayan 450. This may affect the total range in long rides.
                  • The 780mm seat height should be low enough for most of the shorter riders to place their feet on the ground comfortably.

                  My review of jawa 42 bobber
                  The looks of the bike is absolutely fenomenal the bike is extremely unique because no brand offers a proper bobber bike for such affordable price only few bobber bikes are available in india for ex indian bobber or triumph bonnevile bobber and this jawa 42 bobber this bike is almost amazing to ride and it brings pure joy and fun fully value for money. Extremely good. i have ridden many types of bikes from many different brands but this is absolutely beautiful to ride, the performance is absolutely good although i have few minor issues like heating issue. oh man please i have special request to jawa that please do something about heating issue, the bike heats so much it is unbelievable, also sometimes just sometimes the front brakes make wierd noises and also i have another small issue which is rear brakes. rear brakes are very weak. i will always recommend to use front brakes because rear brakes are very weak of this bike so be careful with brakes, otherwise besides these minor issues the bike is absolutely perfect to ride and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this bike, why because this is bike that is only one and only in its segment, no brand i repeat no brand makes or offer affordable proper bobber motorcycle, some brand try to replicate like royal enfield but this outclass classic 350 very easily, the price is extremely affordable for such a bike.

                  BEST INVESTMENT FOR FUTUTR
                  Best investment for future, best in looks and best for small height people. Good mileage, if you want to mode then this is the best, ground clearance is short which makes it more attractive. Best finance offers from jawa yezdi chandigarh, if you want a bobber style bike then this is the bike you should go for.

                  My riding experience
                  The biggest reason is its appearance. The floating single seat, wide rear tyre and minimalist design made it stand out. I loved the custom bike look straight from the factory. That made me choose this bike. As a solo rider, I find the seat comfortable for daily commute and short to medium highway trips although the suspension is a bit firm on rough roads. As for mileage, it is around 25 to 30 kmpl in normal riding. A solo rider would love this bike for various purposes such as everyday use or short commute or even long road trips in various terrain. The fuel to kilometre capacity is not a problem for me. Considering the current petrol crisis in India, this bike is quite manageable.

                  You name the person
                  This is one of the best machines. So tuned and historical. Chain is a tight initially but later it's smooth. Power unmatched. Fully satisfied and colour are wonderful in quality. Great buy. Got help from the showroom and the build quality and parts are amazing. I am thrilled that there is no negative point. It's an achievement.

                  Best bike in performance and pickup and also good for off-roading, VIP too. Looks different in world for real Aura. Engine is more refined, the handling is very nice, this is best bike in rider segment, biggest tyre in all range of RE like meteor, the sitting posture is much good for long ride. I love it.

                  my guerrilla 450
                  I had to many optoins when it comes to mid range cc segment and goes for the budget and this stole my eye with the colours, the glare its has some charm that i wanted to hold and drive and honestly, its been great. Its been hell of a ride and i give it the best bike the enfield ever released the bike, I mean i'm not a guy who has issues with mileage or maintaince, but if you are it might be troublesome except that runs like a butter. Of course, if youre someone who wants to have a classic bike with power torque and i quote an indian brand cause i'm proud as hell while riding this beauty and beast, it gives butterflies not exaggerated.

                  Experience and Review of Guerrilla 450
                  An excellent bike with solid engine. It has that attractiveness to fall in love. Compact size, big blast. I choose to experience this machine for its style, liquid cooled engine, TFT display, suspension and everything. Long rides does not feel boring on this machine. It definitely give good comfort, mileage depends on situation, 17-22 in traffic and 23-27 on highway. The torque it generates is just fabulous. It has given me upper hand in drag races. Would definitely recommend this bike to teenagers and those riders who wants to experience the feeling of driving Himalayan. This machine is a segment killer, no other bike can pair with it except its big sister Himalayan 450.
