GUERRILLA 450 | SEGMENT KING? | FIRST LONG RIDE OPINION

[@schleepysings]

Massive respect gentlemen. Being a very new rider myself, advice from both of you has greatly enhanced my knowledge of bikes. Also, I like how you people instantly recognise the target demographics for any motorcycle and rate it that way instead of nitpicking. Thank you!

[@bigbearbangalore]

Great to hear! Thanks.

[@pradhunechhetri8837]

Just bought it yesterday. Would have loved if this video would have been uploaded a bit earlier. One issue I think will be is the rear water/dirt that is going to be splashed because there is no tier hugger and the tail is small. Tank is fine. Everything is fine. Power is great compared to the segments.

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

Firstly, Congratulations on your new ride. Since you have already bought it and this issue is on all Guerrillas, there should be an aftermarket tyres hugger available soon. If RE doesn't make one, some company will. There could also be a possibility to retrofit an aftermarket one with some modifications. If the splash becomes bothersome, especially in the rain, I think you can consider getting one.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Congrats. Best wishes.

[@mylifeivlog]

I am also looking to buy one soon, Tyre hugger is already on the list 😅

[@littleviceroy5835]

same from Hunter 350s non-existent disgusting mud-splash protection. I think twice about taking my bike out without wearing a waterproof trouser, if the road is not dry. Especially when RE is marketing these machines as daily commuters. And why should I pay extra for a tire hugger, as I already paid for the entire bike? How much would the cost have increased for RE? Mudguard and Mirror are always two departments where RE consistently underdelivers. Shame

[@killingmachinelp]

Doesn't matter if you can install aftermarket tyre hugger or not. This should come under usability QA. Which it fails. RE can easily accommodate a tyre hugger but it won't care because it will sell like crazy. Also, fanboyzzzz will come at you with pitchforks if you point it out 🤣

[@deonfleming2692]

Hello guys! Amazing review. Just booked RE GRR450. I was having second thoughts on buying Guerrilla 450 because wherever I scroll about the reviews, people just demean the bike. I did a test ride or Triumph Speed/Scrambler as well. Ofcourse it has a slightly better edge than RE but I found GRR450 better. Every motorcycle has its pros and cons but you have nicely put up in the video. Thanks again! Best wishes. Big fan of your videos, CK n Bosky

[@amardpratap]

Watching your videos helped me decide to buy a Harley X440 mid variant (got 15k discount on offer). I test drove back to back the Maverick 440 and Harley X440, although the same architecture - I found Harley has more character in terms of how I felt while driving it - it sounds better, the riding position is commanding (maybe bcoz of higher size front wheel and flat handle), feels more expensive and well built and I was very clear it is the x440. Also test rode Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450 back to back. The test ride bike of the Himalayan was a bit old and the engine was noisy. Guerrilla was brand new, felt better built and the engine was relatively smooth compared to the Himalayan. Overall it didn't connect with the nature of the engine, it was fast but not characterful and. Low end pick up was not smooth. I even tried KTM 390 Adv, there as well I didn't like the engine character to my liking. Overall I loved Harley as some bike which is complete, well engineered and built for purpose from scratch and not just permutation/combination of same platform for different bikes. 1. Engine Character (low end and smooth) and Sound 2. Sitting position and Handle 3. Ride and Handling balance 4. Premium bike feel (paint finish) 5. Good Headlights and premium feel of buttons and parts. 6. Cheap maintenance due to Hero Service (also own XPulse 200 4v Pro) I always felt happier after the test ride of x440 and convinced. Discount just fastened by decision making and purchased it. Waiting for the special number 0440 😊 from the RTO. Thanks Bosky and CK for your interesting and heartfelt perspectives.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Wow! You are a great example of how one could go about choosing a motorcycle. Well done. Congrats!

[@amardpratap]

@@bigbearbangalore Thank you so much for your appreciation. My garage will now have 2 bikes 1. Xpulse 200 4v Pro for trail or adventure riding 2. HD X440 for commute and highway rides I am planning to add a 3rd one something like RS457 (not in near future) to have that complete range of riding experience and purpose. I will just keep on replacing one with a better and bigger one with experience for lifelong keeping 3 at a time. Ride Safe. Stay Happy!

[@user-bm2gb2pn6h]

Totally agree Harley x440 is an amazing machine... Had test rode it a few months back and loved it but was holding off coz every person in the circle kept telling me "it's not real Harley" "it's a cheap Harley" it's not a good bike, it's a hero product, it doesn't have value ! Don't know on what basis they perceive a product !! but now with the new colours I think I am convinced I just need to test ride the Grr450 before making the final decision!!! 👍

[@amardpratap]

@@user-bm2gb2pn6h listen to your heart, it says truth. How you feel during the test drive is important. As Bosky said you cannot go wrong with any of the current options in 400 class. So it all depends on what you like in the end.

I did back to back test rides with both of them, speed 400 felt a better bike in terms of ride quality, but I felt it lacks the road presence and a bit of character. Also I liked the riding stance on this one better than speed 400. This bike appealed to me more so I went with it. I hope this does well.

[@jayanthchintala3496]

Thanks to Bosky and CK for your reviews. Been three weeks since I got my x440 vivid variant during the sale. Loved riding every km on it. The feel and character the bike carries is just too good. After looking at your reviews i threw away all those sayings that people shit on the internet that it's a fake harley , hero davidson 😂 and stuff and that was the best thing that happened. Took a test ride along with the mavrick and just fell in love with the bike's character. Went in the hope of trying a good bike and that did so. My lil take after owning it: Excellent thump and low end torque. Barely heats up if ridden at a decent speed. Will feel the heat if stuck in heavy traffic. Good weight balance and better horn and cable management on my bike than the test ride piece. Will be a good choice for a relaxed rider. Cheers ✌🏻

[@bigbearbangalore]

Awesome. Congrats. And thanks!

[@rahulnayak6553]

I test rode this and the triumphs today. Surprisingly the Speed 400 felt the most comfortable in terms of seating, posture and maneuveribility. One other concern i have is the service quality among these companies. RE could not care less about the customers. Which one do you think is reliable?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Reliability I'd say is good with both. The rest is your personal assessment and preference.

[@shonith91]

It would be advisable to get a good mechanic in your city if service is a concern. Rest is up to you.

[@neil2145]

I think the service quality will be different depending upon the location…

[@Z-Pilot]

I own a Speed 400 since July 2024. I have ridden a lof the other named bikes (KTM, Husquarna and RE Hunter 350). I have a very good dealer not far away I live and the service is very good. - Now I regret a little ... because this video makes me search for a RE dealer and ... even closer to the town where I live, I found one. So I will test ride the Gurerilla 450 next week.

[@swapnasaritnayak2569]

[@bigbearbangalore]

Congrats. Once the rains stop, you'll enjoy more I guess. 👍

[@gamebuoy]

Its already out.. you may check with your nearest aftermarket shops

[@fappuzen]

i think the concern for the tank range primarily comes from a daily commute/city bike perspective rather than riding 200kms at a stretch. A range of 200 kms means fueling up every alternate or maybe 3rd day which makes for an inconvienient city bike :/

[@bigbearbangalore]

👍 200+ kms range to me in city is adequate too.

[@singhshakti1980]

Much much awaited.. Took a "good" test ride, potholes, speed brakers and twisties, all done.. felt a bit vibey overall and a bit hard front suspension, but the power and delivery is almost at par with the 650's, with good handling and brakes.. The accessories are all extras though and dats a bummer..

What is your opinion on RE pricing the bikes differently just for the paint schemes? I feel it’ll be better if there are some additions in terms of accessories instead of just colour changes. What’s your opinion?

Finally, ❤ Uncle Bosky and Uncle CK, as always, rock 🎉😊 Ground clearance, at any point, seemed to be an issue? 🤔 And what's your opinion on the radiator cap being exposed? Like any kid could easily get rid of the lid. However, in the event of a crash, I don't see a major problem. Scrambler 400x has it in a much better position.

[@bigbearbangalore]

No GC issues. Yes the cap looks vulnerable but a hand on it can burn and deter theft unless when cold.

Overall, Speed 400 is the more complete bike in this neo-retro segment. With USD, 4 piston radial caliper brake, awesome stock tyres, traction control, more tractable engine(better low end torque), better ride quality & seats, better tank capacity, range & mileage, beautiful DRL and an actual tail light😉.

The tank volume in my opinion is a real-concern although may not be deal breaker. Most of us Indians are single-garage, single-machine owners. Not every body has either space or money to buy two bikes for two purposes. Considering people here are mad about going Ladakh, Arunachal, Sikkim and what not on what ever they have, with its average 29km on long-ride, it'll be a concern. Just 2 extra litters would have changed everything. Yes obviously it won't be a matter if sb is doing inter-city or inter-state due to availability of wide range of fuel stations in our country. And carrying some fuel on extra bottle can also be managed.

The pillion seats look pretty muddy on most of the on road reviews (where they’ve run through slushy roads )😢, any ideas on how I could go about reducing it? 🤔maybe a hardtop box,wonder if it’d fit

[@bigbearbangalore]

I have no solution for this.

[@Brettmotorcycles]

I wish the tank was more retro like the speed 400. It was like they wanted to make the tank different just to say it wasn’t retro when the rest of the bike is.

[@bigbearbangalore]

[@PaoloD2R2]

can't decide between this and triumph 400X. Not planning to use it much in city and offroad, just lazy B-roads of short b-roads roadtrip. Maybe the 400x is more confy and a bit more refined?

[@bigbearbangalore]

GRR is better at highway speeds.

[@abhi_music12]

What do you think about the Brava Blue colour scheme??

[@bigbearbangalore]

Stunning

[@sarthaktandon6334]

Hey! Ive been a scooter rider for 3 yrs riding 125 cc Now i want a bike for ease of commuting and twice a month out of town travel. Is 400 cc the right choice or should i look for something lower like something between 200 to 350? Bullet/classic not my style. More of a risk free but aggressive rider. I got my basic gear i never leave home without even though on a scooter but im not able to decide the level of upgrade which is sensible.

[@bigbearbangalore]

If you've got plans to expand and grow your new found motorcycling love, go for a 400 to future proof your investment.

[@sarthaktandon6334]

Amazing! Thank you for that response. ❤

[@razvanvancea2795]

what do you recommend for city commuting between this and triumph scrambler 400x? thanks! my height is 182cm

[@Swagat_kP]

Scrambler or speed anyday

[@bigbearbangalore]

Test ride and choose. Personal posture and comfort choice.

[@tharunpranav4974]

What about the tires sir? Can we get tires in the future easily for replacement or is it gonna be a tough one? I have this doubt because of the biggest rear wheel tyre in the market (160/60 R17). Thanks in advance.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Should be available. But yes there has been some supply issues of some sizes in the market. Am sure it will be available at least at the dealership workshop.

[@tharunpranav4974]

Hi Sir , I am confused between Himalayan and guerrilla. I wanted a touring bike as I wanted my riding journey, but confused which will suit me as I do commute as to office .. I have test driven both vehicles I loved the initial pickup on guerrilla and Himalayan seating was awesome . Please suggest

[@bigbearbangalore]

Test ride back to back on the same roads and choose please.

[@baisakhiroyvjgjfhrgf9705]

among guerilla 450, meteor 350 and vitpilen 250 which one would you recommend???🙏🏾

[@bigbearbangalore]

Hello. I cannot tell you what may suit you better. But from this 3, for me I'd pick the G450.

[@baisakhiroyvjgjfhrgf9705]

​@@bigbearbangaloreThank you!!

[@gunsNwings]

Bike looks good but the radiator cap is open unlike the himalayan.. Just worry if someone can do any mischief with it as it protrudes out. Whats your take sir? And finally which one do u prefer overall this or 400x as i m confused bet the two. 😊.. I am looking for a better scrambler tht can do it all and replace my cbr250.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Well, I'd not worry about that. Whoever puts their hand on it are bound to burn themselves, unless they plan and wait for it to cool and then steal it. That much effort to steal a radiator cap?

[@gunsNwings]

@@bigbearbangalore thank u, but you don't answer which is ur pick bet this and scrambler 400x 😅..?

[@sabyasachisarkarz]

​@@bigbearbangalore Best ans ever sir..to a bullshit statement thats been spread by some so called motorcycle reviewers..😊😊

Need to ride the GRR quite a bit more to be able to compare.

[@himanshuwiz]

Should traction control be available in this bike as it is light and agile as compared to himalayan also it is fairly powerful bike of 40bhp

[@bigbearbangalore]

Would be nice to have.

[@VRdoingeverything]

its 40 bhp man, TCS is an overkill.

[@top10things177]

Better improve your skills 😂😂 One should not need "traction control" for a 40bhp, I mean you can't even handle a literal 40 bhp?

[@wolverinekens]

Great video sir, i was waiting for this because yesterday i went to test drive 3 bikes speed 400, 400x and guerrilla. I wanted to have todays design so i shortlisted 400x and guerrilla. Personally i liked both bikes alot ans now im confused, im not sure what to choose as in 400x the bike lacks sharp braking , braking bite was very low , the side stand seems to be very straight considering the seat height being 5.6 it would take effort to put it to stand. Where guerrilla's braking was awesome and power was surreal. On paper it looks same but guerrilla on the roads hit differently the torque was so good and bike was nimble even has 169 mm ground clearance okay for moderate offroad. Only thing it was tractable. Can you advise me which will be an ideal deal. Im 30 and I'm looking for 50% tourer, 20% city ride and 30% moderate offroad.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Tough spot. If you're ok with thr 400x seat height then you may consider that since it has more suspension. But if you like a lower seat height, the the G450 is a good choice.

[@wolverinekens]

​​@@bigbearbangalore seat height was not the concern, but power and braking felt better there, again I want a pro suggestion that's why Im looking up to u sir.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Lemme put in another angle 😊 The 400X feels lighter and nimbler while the G450 is stabler and planted at higher speeds. Choose which is more important to you.

[@wolverinekens]

@@bigbearbangalore Thanks BigB.. 💯 made my mind 😉

[@cruze86]

Mr. Busky what’s the model name of your riding jacket and pant. Looks cool.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Touratech Companero

[@captain27pal]

Post the review, I am still confused. Ofcourse, the bike has many right check boxes checked . Even tough there is a little hint in the video, but no direct comparison with the likes of x440 or speed 400. If i can live with the backseat or in tend to get a better seat for long drive, should it be the bike to bring home?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Go with your gut feel. Test ride again. If you feel good when riding it and brings a smile, then that's the one for you.

[@captain27pal]

@@bigbearbangalore Jst took a test drive of it. Imho, Best parts are the engine and the gear box. Handling is better than x440 and similar to that of triumph speed 400. But, the seat is not to my liking, though seating posture is very good and better than the triumph. However, it rides as a complete city bike.would have bought it with a slighty touring friendly seat and a little softer suspension.

[@platina4711]

What about the stock tyre size choice? Recommend a downsize!

[@bigbearbangalore]

Recommend to leave it. 😊

[@adarshhe]

I picked the Guerilla 450 as against speed and x440. X440 doesnt suit my riding style as its not a rev happy engine. I am from a tier two city and I had to go to Hubli to test ride triumph which is like 160 kms. So it wasnt practical to get the speed 400. Moreover it didnt give the thrill as Grr450 gave while riding. Happy with the choice i made 😊

[@bigbearbangalore]

Congrats & best wishes.

[@adarshhe]

​@@bigbearbangaloreSo I was watching your old video of breaking in the engine. I have a doubt about break in. Does breaking in influence the way the engine behaves in terms of acceleration and revs in long term ?

[@ricardini9560]

​@@adarshheyes! It always does! Even in cars!

[@vclimbekar]

If it’s meant to be used within the city and occasional outside the city, then I would expect the turning radius to be atleast as much as the Classic.. 😊

[@bigbearbangalore]

👍

[@nik232471]

Why no comparison with the Triumph twins? I would have expected you to compare with the Speed & Scrambler 400 as you own one yourself!

[@bigbearbangalore]

One step at a time sir. We just got hold of this for 1/2 day and we need to understand it well. And we need to ride it much more. The comparison video likely is several weeks away. Regards.

[@nik232471]

Thanks for the reply.. Would keep an eye out for that review.. I’m considering either this or one the triumph twins.. My main usage would be office commute along with the occasional weekend rides..
