                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Jawa 42 FJ

                  • Looks old school and like nothing else on the market and the build quality has gone up too
                  • Engine is much smoother than before
                  • You don’t feel the 184kg kerb weight the moment you start riding

                  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 FJ

                  • Finish levels could’ve been better
                  • Doesn’t come in a chrome colour scheme which would’ve significantly added to the visual appeal
                  • Reverse LCD console is hard to read under direct sunlight

                  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.

                  Looks like a beast and runs like one too
                  Great appealing raod presence with nice cafe racer looks power is good enough justifies the 334 CC engine very refined engine without vibration not riding posture is also good for long rides the dual exaust puts an extra enhanced look giving it a majestic look Ride's been wonderful just one problem i have faced is the leg guard assembly is fitted inside the cooling fan frame on the left side which makes the fan vulnerable to damage if the leg guard crashes and bends a little it hinders the movement of the fan I would recommend this bike definitely a good bike just so people know if you are purchasing this bike you should not be subjective to fuel efficiency all other things are brilliant and up to the mark for me

                  Royal feel with style and power
                  I chose it for the look. It has a royal feel. The round headlight and flat seat look classic. The sound is bold. It is not too loud, just right. I wanted a bike with style and power. Jawa 42 had both. It made me feel proud when I rode it. Riding is so smooth. The seat is soft and handle easy. The bike runs well in city and highway. I ride slow and fast, both feel nice. No shake at high speed. It stops quick too. I went on a trip and it was fun. No pain after long ride. Good shockers. Yes, it is a good buy. The bike is worth the money. It rides well and looks cool. People ask what bike it is. I feel proud. It is not heavy. Easy to ride and care for. If you like simple and strong bikes, you will love it. I say yes, go get it.

                  Strong body and safe ride
                  I liked the strong body and sound. The tank is big. It felt safe. I tested other bikes, but this one was best. The seat height was perfect. The price was fine. I got it in black. It looks so cool. I wanted a bike that feels like a bike. This one gave me that old bike feel. My ride is smooth and easy. I go to office and also short trips. No issue. The power is nice and the lights are bright. My friend rides with me. The bike is fast and stable. It turns well and stops quick. I ride every day and enjoy it. It has become part of my life. Yes, I will say yes. It is a bike that feels good. Strong, easy and cool. If you want a bike that is fun and also useful, this one is great. It is not like all bikes. It is simple but feels rich.

                  Old bike vibe with soul
                  I saw the Jawa and stopped. It looked like an old bike from movies. But also new. I loved the shape. The silver color was so nice. I sat and it felt perfect. It was not too big or small. Just right. I liked the name Jawa too. It sounds strong. I wanted a bike with soul, not just speed. Riding this bike is fun. It feels like I’m flying. It is strong and smooth. I can ride for hours. No pain. The handle is soft. The brakes are good. I went on a road trip and loved every second. The bike did great. It gave me no problems. I take care of it and it takes the care of me. Yes, I think many people will love this bike. It is good for rides, looks, and feel. It is not just a machine. It feels like a friend. If you want a bike that makes you happy, this is a good one. I would say yes, go for it. You will smile every ride.

                  Nice performance bike
                  Nice bike with very good performance, sitting posture upright and commanding, mileage is good as its a big cc bike I can get around 30kmpl in highway and 24-26 kmpl in the city. Royal Enfield service is also very good and its low maintenance as compare to big bikes like triumph 400, so overall its a amazing bike and its thrilling to ride the bike.

                  RE guerrilla 450 ride review after 10 months
                  It has a stylish look and comfortable for Rides any Hight group can ride it it's not a family friendly bike i choose this bike because of its looks and initiate pickup the bike is fun to ride motorcycle but remember that it does not have full turning radius and it comes with only 11 litres of fule capacity The speed i have driven this bike is 165kph it has the best pickup in 2nd gear i have ever driven in 400cc segment it just has one issue of mileage it just gives a mileage of 24-25 kmpl and maximum of 35 kmpl on highway Anybody can buy this bike but remember one thing it just has 11 litres of fule capacity so it can cause issues on long Rides and yes I will definitely recomend this bike to buy because of its looks and initial pickup

                  RE that kills and sit on top over other's
                  Actually I want best engine that's it that's the only reason I bought this bike super powerful super easy to ride and you will definitely feel the power in your hand but in long run your butt will feel hell See every bike has positives and negatives but this bike has a very good engine. The power is nearly 40bhp and 40nm torque which is very good for daily day to day task but the headlight is little low you have to install fog light for sure and don't think you will get a good milage and yes it's miss out some cool but yes it's RE you can trust. If your daily run is in highways mainly more then 60% in highways then go and buy you will not regret but if you have to ride this in city mainly please focus more as this bike feels little heavy and the radiator fan work's quickly because of it's big engine so think if you ride in city.
