When Kawasakhi scooter j125cc will launch sir

[@user-qf7vv6jo7w]

I don't think changing the name Gurella royal Enfield will not impress the youngsters to buy , cos, 450 cc may only be the major change the rest nothing new, probably the looks of seat at pallion part is weird to look.. 😊😅 of course few may find it good.. 😊

I guess these would be normal things that one would want to know before investing in a bigger bike. See how well it performs with similar segments. A no-brainer would directly go and buy one without considering any of these points/ test drives😅

I think it deserves a comparison with Speed 400 and also with CB300R (yeah it's 10hp less but just 153kg )

[@himangshumahanta5398]

CB300R is 147kg

[@aryank1ng748]

Agreed

[@laveshmotwani3671]

Speed 400's top speed is around 145kmph, the speedometer has a positive error of around 15kmph so it shows around 160kmph on the speedo. On the other hand, the sherpa engine delivers a GPS accurate top speed of 160+ on a heavy Himalayan so obviously we'll be getting 160+ on Guerrilla as well. So yeah RE 450 sherpa engine will win against Triumph's 400cc Tho both engines are good If u choose triumph then you'll get better refinement and a lighter motorcycle but if u choose RE then you'll get higher top speed figure and heavier motorcycle and it has the big bike feel too RE has: Bigger engine Higher Top speed Better instrumental console Supports bigger tyre profile Larger service and dealer network Tho if u choose triumph you'll get a premium feel and a much bigger brand value and a better quality in fit and finish but you'll lose all the points RE has (mentioned above)

[@anabolicbrah]

The engine is worth it but the suspension and weight is where the Guerilla will beat it. I own a 2023 Interceptor. The engine is smooth and the feeling of cruising at 100 kmph @ 4000 rpms is just bliss, plus that awesome twin soundtrack which the single 450cc can never match

[@johanneshll3845]

ROYAL ENFIELD MUST PRIORITIZE PRODUCT QUALITY TO OUTSHINE JAPANESE AND BAJAJ COMPETITORS. WITHOUT DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS IN QUALITY, NO LEVEL OF STORYTELLING OR MARKETING WILL SECURE THEIR SUCCESS.

[@MrAkhilvishnu]

It has come a long way, tbh. A decade back, it was a dying company and now, it is growing not just in India but outside as well. And considering how nitpicky and entitled (in a positive way) the Europeans/Americans are when it comes to having the best of everything, the YoY growth of RE outside, speaks volume of its improving and/or improved quality.

[@indirajithganapathy4397]

How about an Guerilla 650?

[@johanneshll3845]

@@MrAkhilvishnu RE is still a looked down brand globally. Even in India it can never compete in niche markets.

[@MrAkhilvishnu]

@@johanneshll3845 It has its own market, its own place in India; it doesn't need to compete in a niche area here, I'm afraid. And RE is not the typical commuter/sports segment oriented brand to gain a name anywhere near the Hondas and Triumphs internationally, but it is gaining footing all over, slowly. RE bikes in general belong and appeal to a separate, old-school riding community which was dying but is on the revival thanks to RE (predominantly). And with the Guerilla and the Himalayan, they are trying to appeal to the young crowds of the present age. Only time can tell whether it will keep this up or not but for now, it is growing and if they improve and keep-up, it will only be a matter of time before RE becomes a globally accepted brand.

Wouldn't this bike be dope if it had a double cylinder or a Continental GT engine? The sound and power would be off the hook! Sure, it would be heavier and more expensive, but still...people who love power would love it. This is a sick bike! If this was 650cc, I would have bought it immediately and added it to my RE collection

[@Apmangoman]

Saw this bike in showroom today.. Looks small but its big..felt re make first city compatible bomb... Test road himalayan 450 may be for 2km in city felt not a head of ny cb350 atleast in city. Fact is my cb350 city ride charactestics is unbeatable except speed 400. May be guerrila will do that barring refiness

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Triumph ain't here. RE actually here and let you at least het on it although road test is bit too much to call 1km in built up area. Will wait to see reviews on Indian roads but the bike really needs a bigger tank.

I just want to say that, it’s time to leave your old aspect ratio for the video, it doesn’t look good at all. Black bar on top and bottom, seriously ? It’s 2024 . Well I like your content and it’s a genuine review.

[@amolshenoy6745]

The Payload is 191 kgs but is the rear seat comfortable and wide enough to accommodate pillion rider. It has become a fashion to have a pretty small pillion seat nowadays e.g. Hunter, 401 Svartpilen, Bigger Apaches, cb300 and more....

[@user-zg1mh3fx1t]

This if you love revving out you bike, speed 400 if you love calm rides with good acceleration and loads of low end torque.

Some of the glamshots were looking quite good. A lot of potential to color grade better and also make the shots look more uniform stylistically. Glad to see at least some of the shots benefit from the different setting.

[@DayumSonny]

I like the mindset behind the design. Jack up the ride height, add a 19 inch front tire and voila, you have the Scram 450. It's only a matter of time.

[@nithinjacob7455]

Seems like a lot of inspiration is taken from the Indian FTR!

They should have brought hybrid cng with this..cng dual cylinder each on sides 2kg each and 9lit petrol or ethanol...then it would have been a real killer...no rnd just same with some tweaks...no usd forks in front, hard suspension.. have to test on our roads ....i think bajaj has only the company who have guts to put a cng hybrid..
