[@ars1968]

Your ride reviews are the best i have seen so far in the business MP! You really do it indepth to give the viwers a comprehensive experience. Cheers🍻

Been waiting for a non-press release review, thank you.

It’s nice to see that they have a front fender that actually looks like it would work😊 Thank you for another well done review

[@Tomfum-j9m]

Ive just bought one. Had a test ride and ordered one straight away . So much fun to ride . Forget about the old 411 enfield this is a completely different animal ..love it 👍

[@norsehall309]

G'day Mark, Royal Enfield have hit the mark with this 450cc motorcycle, the rider that doesn't want a big cruiser motorcycle who want a no fuss bit of fun on the road be it in town or country this bike will do all that and RE,s reliability is renowned that's why l have two, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

[@olethorhermansen5696]

I like that you emphasize the centerstand. So few bikes have one these days, only Royal Enfield still fit one to all their bikes. And as we all know, chain drive sucks, chain drive and no centerstand really sucks!

[@stephenwiddick4934]

411 scram centrestand is an option.

[@Plough78]

Nothing wrong with chain drive *Plought* 🎉

[@bultacowally]

Yeah really chain drive rules...shaft drive blows. Huge power loss and handling quirks with shaft drive... you are probably just a lazy ass and don't like maintaining a chain...

[@willyrackham2957]

I really like this bike it's a Roadster not a pretend adventure ...bike ....its all the bike you need and nothing you don't.

[@2001MBKBooster]

Brilliant review. The most comprehensive one done so far on United Kingdom roads. The Guerilla is on my very short list for my next motorcycle.

[@mrsilbo6499]

Another brilliant review, Mark. I love that RE has included a centre stand, a decent length yet still good looking front mudguard and higher than usual handlebars. I reckon they'll move Triumph aside with this and the Himalayan.

[@hershchat]

Fantastic, “cricket commentator” narration. The best review style- play by play, engaging, informative. You do our Mommy proud sir.

Great review 👍 ... Center stand is a winner for me over the Triumph

Leaves no doubt that RE is a legitimate brand worthy of consideration. Impressive engineering along with impressive quality. KTM take notice!

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

Sat on one last night, same colour, probably my next bike.

[@davidireland6952]

beautiful bike and very nice review 👍 BUT..i am waiting for the supposed Himalayan 650..i already have a bought new 2021 Himalayan which has been through 3 UK winters and is showing minimal rust to be honest (frame is as new, just engine bolts have tarnished, my givi engine bars have rusted more than anything)..i love it and couldn't ever sell it, it is my commuter and heavily loaded up with camping gear touring bike..a true reliable workhorse that i have serviced myself after getting ripped off on the first service dealer cost 😁 RE bikes are very reliable , have good quality parts and are brilliant for long term ownership 💪 edit: never been sprayed with any rust inhibitor like ACF50 etc

[@ianlawrie919]

Great sound off the single cylinder as you pointed out. It was interesting to see it in profile, a low machine with high top yolk and risen bars. 👏👍👌

[@dwaynecorrea9775]

TOP REVIEWER FOR SURE!!!! COVERS EVERYTHING BESTLY!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks 👍

[@julianrose810]

Thanks Mark for a real world review. So many testers complain of vibration whilst riding at sensible speeds at silly engine speeds

[@markpulling12]

Hi Julian....for a single cylinder at normal speeds up to 6 k rpm it's remarkably smooth...above 6 k it does have vibes but nothing too bad Pointless revving too high because all the power is made in low/mid range Cheers mark

[@julianrose810]

See how the Indian Guerrilla live See freesoul rider review 😎​@@markpulling12

[@billybass4189]

Like it mark, I feel like this is the RE I've been waiting for. Been half tempted by the ridiculously pretty hunter but held off due to the lack of power, still probably an absolute joy on the country lanes though. This one looks right, has the right amount of power and some decent upgrades in equipment which probably makes the extra outlay worthwhile.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Billy yes this is just great 👍 a nice amount of power just perfect for UK roads .... comfortable and rides great 😃 Cheers mark

[@cyborgscanner]

They should have just made a hunter 450. This guerilla is ugly.

[@saurabh9516]

​@cyborg5407 they could fo so much better with hunter 350 in terms of ergonomics ,looks They couldve easily upgraded that to a 450 with few changes to fit the sherpa engine.

[@arthurramm8664]

@@cyborgscanner I know what you mean but I really don't think this is the last model using the sherpa engine. Some kind of scram perhaps?

[@bernardmitchell]

I think this could be on my list for a new bike when it's released here in Australia

[@sandwaves5642]

Amazingly FEW negative things 😀 As usually - an extremely positive review. Bike looks pretty decent. Pity it needs valve intrusion so often - it is shims now - not as before - could be fixed with a screwdriver and pair of pliers...... Honda has gone from 25000 km UP to ~ 50000 km between valve checks. Enfield should have done better here.

[@mencewilkinson9625]

Had plenty of quality / reliability issues with my 2020 Interceptor. I really like the look of these but not sure I could go back to RE again. Nice review as always.

[@willgarrod9907]

That is nice...the 450 cc. Engine sizemakes so much sense as the bikes are so good now.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Well done getting out on the Guerrilla Mark, hopefully I will be doing the same very soon 😊.

I'm not really into the Royal Enfield retro styling, but this bike looks quite cool to be fair.

Absolutely brilliant bike have bought one myself in the same colour. My 5th Royal Enfield.

[@stuarthammond1009]

Cheaper then a top spec 125 is absolutely amazing. 400cc class as not been this good since kh/gt/rd/cb days this bike looks like real world fun. Maybe better then new Triumph 400's . Japanese need to wake up quickly honda 350 H'ness is out there . Love the different paint schemes. Great test thanks Mark.

[@jimamizzi1]

I’ve watched a few of these reviews, they have a really good feature that most don’t touch on and that’s the navigation and how it works

Thanks Mark.Lovely ‘little’ thumper for everyday use!

Love this bike,does everything ❤

[@andrewrussell6238]

, Thanks for a great review, I rode one at the City tour event at Boxhill in Surrey , loved it ! , have had one on order since the 17 th July Launch , A brava Blue one

[@1990-t1j]

It certainly looks good, even in this black, a colour I don't usually like. The red and yellow flashes complement the black nicely. Nice high wide bars facilitate a perfect riding position. I like the tyres. If I was looking for a direct replacement for my 390, this would be it. I looks a lot better. Heavier, though. Excellent review, Mark.

[@andyc750]

good looking bike and well thought out it would seem, looks like a proper ball of laughs to ride and very capable as well, and a very comprehensive review as well, best I have sen on this bike so far

Really nice looking bike. Ive just added this to my list of choices for a smaller 2nd bike.

Thanks David 😀 I appreciate the feedback Best wishes mark

[@andrefcnc]

If this bike had came out before the Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400, it would sell like hot cakes here in Europe. But now it's gonna face some serious competition. I have a feeling that it still gonna sell well, especially because RE has already built a reputation for itself, and I'm certain the bike will be aggressively priced as per usual from Royal Enfield. That being said. I would pay the little extra for the Triumph.

[@jimmyjam8795]

I'm now on my second 650 RE, and I really like the bikes (only for weekend fun, have other bikes for all year round commuting). It's only when you need warranty repairs, that I find my uk dealer to be so frustrating that I no longer use them for servicing and this will be my last RE (I always intended to keep this one for a while anyway) certainly from them.

[@letni9506]

What was frustrating about your RE dealer? I'm thinking about one of these and I live quite near a RE dealer so I thought it would be handy when I need stuff doing.

[@nigelcb1300]

Very nice looking machine, ideal for anyone coming back to bikes after a break 👍

[@dozerblade]

I like your reviews, best of all you are the same size as me, although a little less girth, so when you sit on the bike it could be me. I was nearly tempted by the Triumph but this is also tempting and I like a centre stand.

[@markpulling12]

Hi yes there are so many good bikes in this 450 category now Cheers mark

[@colindecosta2756]

Another brilliant review Mark We are so spoilt for choice at the moment

[@thejoker-ie1mm]

Best video, thank you very much Mark. Regards from Italy 👋👋

[@jamespardy6921]

I think RE have got the engine right now. 350 20 bhp 450 40 bhp. You said that the bike was light but did I detect it being a bit twitchy on the front at 70mph. I agree with the previous comment about speedo being offset ?

[@RobertCole-hm1ki]

Another good review Mark, if these had been around before I got my Benelli Leoncino 500 trail, I would have been tempted. The performance looks similar to the benelli though.

[@peterd3215]

I'd rather buy one of these than the triumph 400. The triumph always looked like some sort of cheap Chinese copy of an old British scrambler.

[@leeinwis]

I think the Triumph looks smashing !

[@Jay_Speed]

Mark exchange your Hunter for this one ? I bought the Speed 400, RE not many dealers here in the centre of France. At least not in a 100km range. Why is there no storage under the seats anymore, only for spare glasses would be enough ?

[@johnhutchwales]

Excellent review. So much better and informative than most journalists managed from the launch event. E.g. what’s it like going slowly through town (the Triumph 400 is HORRIBLY snatchy. Also ridiculously under-geared and no way to fit a centre stand). Many thanks.

[@markpulling12]

@@johnhutchwales thanks John I appreciate that 😊

[@steveh7823]

Thanks for the review, interesting bike and the TFT is a winner. But where are the warning lights? I've made the mistake of forgetting to cancel my indicators. I wish bikes would have haptic feedback on the indicators. I'm not sure about the model name though, it's awkward.

[@vince6219]

Nice review Mark 👍, is there a tool kit under the seat?. Not sure if you mentioned it. Also again not sure if you mentioned it 🤣, was you in sport or eco mode?.. overall i like this better than the hunter, purely because of the power, But i prefer the paint job on the Hunter. This paint reminds me of the 1970s bike's... Not that that's an issue 🙏. I can't think tho which bike it reminds me of 🤔?. I do also love single cylinder bikes, they have that something 🤗. Well done RE on a lovely bike, cheers Mark 🙏

[@markpulling12]

Hi Vince yes tool kit under the seat Cheers mark

[@Hinckley_Biker]

Nice machine Mark, although I'm not convinced about the integrated rear lights/indicators? Isn't that something BMW have done on the new GS?

[@IanTed]

Great review as usual, for the money I think they are excellent bikes. Like the Himalayan version a brilliant back road tourer and commuter and certainly suited to the short of leg, old RD colours too👍.

[@prashantpradhan7912]

How is the pillion comfort?

[@DiveTrainerDan]

Not a bad looking bike. I like that black and the gold dip the best. I will be honest I think I like the looks of the new Triumph 400s a little better.

[@trevorholman1542]

Hi Mark. Great review, however knowing what you now know, would you have preferred to wait for the Guerrilla rather than purchasing the Hunter?

[@markpulling12]

Hi Trevor...the hunter is great it has a character of its own but yes if this had of been around at the time I would have bought this instead Cheers mark

[@trevorholman3250]

​@@markpulling12Thanks for reply. I'm in a similar position, I purchased my Hunter about three months ago as a second bike,. Cheap, easy to keep clean, do love it, but would just like a few more HP to overtake, so the Guerilla would seem to tick those boxes. Now trying to work out a cunning plan to sell the idea to the other half!!!😂

[@MTBrider26]

The servicing would appear to be expensive as they now have shimmed valve guides that require inspection and adjusting at a very low 6k miles and again at only 12k miles. That service interval is incredibly short. Yamaha is at 24k miles as one one of the best. Short of high-performance dirt bikes I can't think of another bike that has such short intervals for their shimmed OHC setup.

[@MarshalTriumph-p1h]

Nice review mate...thanks for posting.

Hi Michael I don't have the hunter anymore nothing wrong great bike but I always chop and change because of what I do with KZbin But I'd definitely consider one of these ! Cheers mark

[@veritasvincit2745]

How does it stack up to the 650 twins? I reckon from my own experience that some Interceptor and Continental GT owners are considering this one. How does the power compare in real life as opposed to published figures?

Hi it feels much lighter that the twins But those twin engines are fantastic Power wise it feels as quoted with 40 hp ...nice and strong Cheers mark

Very nice indeed. Overall, I prefer the look of the Triumph 400, but it seems like this may be the better bike. Quite tempted for a local run-around in the countryside near where I live. Just hope it is big enough for a 6ft rider who needs an upright position and decent legroom and regularly carries a pillion.

I, too, enjoy your reviews a lot. But I implore you to watch this with a pencil and paper to hand, and count how many times you use the word 'nice'. Answer: too many times. You are a professional communicator, so you owe your viewers a wider range of vocabulary. Other than that, this, like all your videos, is very nice.
