                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

                  • The engine has a strong mid range punch and that makes it quite exciting in the city
                  • Sporty handling makes it a lot of fun in the city and out on the highway
                  • The analogue console in the base and mid variants looks gorgeous and there’s nothing like it in this segment
                • 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

                  • Owners have often reported rusting, paint peeling and parts loosening out over a period of time even with the new Jawas
                  • Spoke wheels in the base variant look gorgeous but have tube tyres, which could make dealing with punctures quite a hassle

                  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.

                  Jawa 42 review
                  For the looks and the strong and punchy performance. It is set in a good price range. Offers really good retro looks and a round headlamp. Jawa is already an old and reliable company so didn't bat an eye about the reliability and service issues It's really great. The power is always thrilling and it never fails to suprise me. It's really smooth and comfortable even for the pillion. The back rest is really soft and provides good support. The overall ergonomics are amazing and the bike feels really nimble even for its weight Yes I would definitely recommend this book. Me coming from a re 350 series bike. This bike is a lot better. It's way more agile and easy to handle. Plus the engine feels amazing and revs really quick. Even with a pillion the bike feels really responsive to rider inputs
