          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

            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

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

            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.

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

            Overall, it's pretty good, but the mileage could be better. I’d recommend this bike for college students. It has speed, power, torque, comfort, and good suspension.
