Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 And Guerrilla 450: Waiting Period For April 2025 Revealed

It is a beautiful bike- that never feels boring. The acceleration is undefeatable! and while it is sporty, it is surprisingly practical too. It's neither too heavy nor too tall, unlike the Himalayan. Its an absolute attention grabber and I love the colour I chose (brava blue). To sum it up- I chose this bike because it was beautiful, it was fast and it seemed practical enough for my use. I use this bike as my daily, and it has never failed me. It feels stable, planted, easy to manage. It always feels like i'm in control, I have not had a feeling of anxiety that it'll wobble, slip or be uncontrollable even once that I have ridden this bike even on high speeds. The fat rear tyre makes me confident even in rain. the feels grippy even on wet roads, loose gravel- though the bike did splash water on my back in rain, I just got the rear mudguard extender from Enfield and now it's not a problem, though I believe it should've been company fitted. The suspensions are comfortable for daily use, and even in Ghaziabad's bumpy roads I almost do not feel a thing. The engine yearns to red line, the bike wants to go fast and I love it every time I pull the throttle. The mileage is reasonable, with 25 on normal city commute (in power mode, using eco mode pushes that up to around 28. I can manage to get 32 if I ride carefully, maintaining gears to keep the engine at 4-5k rpm and not pulling the throttle/ yanking the breaks unnecessarily) It does get hot in the summers, but honestly I can smell the engine getting hot more than I feel it. Its hard to explain really, but hot air does not blow on my leg when riding so that's good, occasionally the win direction may align and the hot air may blow onto your face- but again thats rare. I am a bit conflicted on highway rides, because it is fun to ride on the highway, but the seat does make your buns feel sore after a while, but its manageable. highway mileage is around 28-29 in power mode, and around 30-32 in eco mode. I would recommend this bike everybody over any other bikes in this segment (except the adv tourers, if you can manage them ofcourse). Anyone can buy this bike if i'm being honest, Its fun, its not tall, its not heavy, its not too expensive to maintain, the breaks are reliable, Its stable, the riding posture is good, and its not scary to ride. you connect with the bike in the first ride. I love it, and i'm pretty sure you'll love it too. just go for it.

Purely because of Royal Enfield reliability Upgrading from a 2015 classic 350 to Himalayan 450 is a massive difference, Literally is built for no roads. Feels like a bigger bike compared to previous generations. Bigger tank unlocks better highway travels. Positive about the bike is the Ride has been the smoothest the engine is very responsive in a good way. It is aggressive when you need it to be the plush suspension lets you move on and off road freely without any issues. Can be easily managed in traffic. Really good on the highways excellent seat comfort for the rider and the pillion for city travel as well as long highway travelling. Can be used as a daily commuter bike in city Negative about the bike Should have had the option for cruise control and quick shifter for better riding experience. I will definitely recommend this bike to the person who can firstly handle such a tall and heavy bike With great power comes great responsibility so if it is going to the first ever bike i will recommend to start riding the bike in eco mode to first get a hang of power and throttle response
