Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. How good is it?

[@bobdrakeford5731]

What a great RE Guerilla Pete! Nice lookin' ride. That motor is impressive. I do like the colours. Very enjoyable review, as usual Pete. Great job Mate! 👏👏👏

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Bob, It sure is a great Guerrilla. Real fun bike. Thanks heaps mate, glad you enjoyed the vid. Shout out to Di. Regards FPPete.

Hi is it run in yet ?

[@aladinfox4098]

A black tank cover would tone it down a bit , but i guess these paint jobs are to reel in a younger demographic, i would still buy one though if I could . I can imagine there will be some fine custom jobs done on these bikes in no time.🏍👍

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Yeah it is a great blank canvas to start with, and then make it look how ever you choose. Thanks for your comment, Regards FPPete.

[@PAGallagher]

One of the best videos I've watched, on the Guerrilla 👍I agree with all your comments although I don't do off road, I'm quite happy on the twistie black stuff ☺ I've got the same model, in Playa Black, and have done just over 2000 miles over the past 2 months, here in the UK. The only downside is, my other bikes are getting a bit dusty 😁At nearly 70, it's probably one of the most likable machines I've owned. Good comfort, good handling and brakes, adequate power and great looks and proportions and it's a biggish single ........ you've probably guessed, I like it! Thanks again for a great down to earth review, all the best, Phil (UK)

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Wow, thanks so much for your comment and glad your loving the Guerrilla. It sure is a fun bike to ride. Put a smile on my face. These smaller bikes sure appeal to wide variety of riders. Regards FPPete.

What a bike Pete, great for the first timers or the old heads . They've certainly hit the spot with the colours, and as usual on point with the pricing.Thanks for the In-depth and solid review mate . Cheers

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Ah Mr Will, Thanks heaps mate. Always enjoy your comments. Yeah the Guerrilla is a great little bike for sure. Regards FPPete.

[@jimdoolan2277]

Just got one down here in new Zealand great little bike and shit loads of aftermarket parts on ebay pretty cool 😎

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps Jim, Great to here mate. Thanks for the heads up on the aftermarket parts. Regards FPPete.

[@BrxBrx-w9e]

hi friends, I've got a brand new guerrilla yellow ribbon. 340 KM actually done in Italy, Appennini mountain and hills. Really fun bike. I have a meteor 350 too, 3 years old. Never had a problem, just fun. I've had Honda (xl 600R), Yamaha (Virago 535), Aprilia (Pegaso 650)...but never felt so confortable like with Royal Enfield. It doesn't mean where they are built, where they do came froma, they give me only good vibes, and that's all. Speed gives adrenaline, Royal Enfield gives pleasure.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

You are spot on. Royal Enfield's sure are fun bikes to ride. Congratulations on your new Guerrilla. Regards FPPete.

[@chamberb01]

I have been very curious how those tyres would do on the dirt, thanks for a great video, beautiful ride!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for your comment and watching the video. Regards FPPete.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Morning Pete. Like you I am fortunate to ride different bikes for my channel. Having ridden the Himi 450, I had a gut feeling that this roadster version, using that brilliant 450 Sherpa engine, was going to be good. On my ride review, it took me about 12 minutes to realise just how good it was, and not much longer to figure out I needed one in my life. So, it happened, I have one……the initial 300 mile run in period was a pain, having to change up just when it was about to get interesting. Now, first service done, and we have another 2k revs to play with until we hit 1200 miles, we realise it is a fantastic bike. Only criticism, is the clutch lever is too far out with those of us with small hands, but Hitchcock’s here in the UK, are in the process of developing adjustable levers. I also moved the gear lever up a notch, as it was set too low for me. The rider needs to match the revs to the gear well, otherwise it will bog down, but it doesn’t take long to acclimatise to that. Yes, leave it in Performance mode, no need for Eco. Yes, the suspension is a bit on the firm side, but handles superbly as a result. Great bike, great review.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Ian, thanks for your great comment, and congratulations on your new Guerrilla. It's always good to hear from actual owners. It sure is a fantastic, fun bike. I have subscribed to your channel. Kind regards FPPete.

[@kayjetcwg]

Hey Ian. New rider here. Just got the Guerrilla 450 myself. Could you explain what this 300 mile run in period is?

[@billcotton1551]

Looks like a great bike, Pete! Unfortunately, we haven't gotten any of the new RE 450 bikes in my area ,in the States. Really want to see them up close.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Bill, I'm sure you would enjoy riding them. I'm still impressed how good the CRF300 is. With a few upgrades it delivers in spades. Regards FPPete.

[@gbtriumph3216]

In Texas, freeway speeds are usually 70-80mph (minimum 65mph in some cities). Certainly a lot of my driving will be 75mph on the way to the countryside. (110 kph = ~68mph) Curious to know if significant vibration occurs between 6,200 & 6,400 rpm. Very nice video!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi gbt, The Guerrilla will sit on 80mph, however as you would expect it is getting to the upper end of it's top speed. The new Royal Enfield Bear 650 has just landed here in Australia, maybe wait for it in the States, it would be better at higher speeds. There is minimal vibration in the 450, in my opinion, but test riding is the only way it will help you with your decision. regards FPPete.

[@jazzysaravana]

The Sherpa 450 has an interesting character, from 6000 rpm to 8000 rpm which is near the redline actually has lesser overall vibration than below that rev range. So around 130-160 kph it cruises very effortlessly in 6th gear. This was my observation when riding the Himalayan 450. The Guerrilla being updated with a new ECU map which makes it more smoother, should have even lesser vibration in this zone

[@MrJonesy74]

Hey Pete, how’s the cape York series coming along? Looking forward to it!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for the nudge. I plan to complete it, Life has been busy. Glad your enjoying it. Kind regards FPPete.

[@MrJonesy74]

@ awesome mate can’t wait

[@MVDBR]

Good job there FPP, I want one.... if you haven't gotten me anything for Xmas yet.... wink wink

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Ha Ha. Thanks heaps Josh. So you want me to slip a Guerrilla into your Stocking?

[@Brettmotorcycles]

This or the Bear, debating. Already have Super Meteor so this makes more sense with sherpa engine

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hard choice. I think the new Bear looks really Cool. Test ride them both and decide. Regards FPPete.

[@agella72]

How does it compare to the Himalayan?

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

It's very similar to the Himalayan. Both bikes deliver for what they are designed for. The Himalayan is a better all rounder for Dirt and road work. The Guerrilla is road biased and do dirt roads and looks cool. Regards FPPete.

[@agella72]

@@FULLPELTAdventures Thanks Pete, if they are similar I'd probably go for the Himalayan, the fuel range wins it for me, shame the tank isn't a little bigger cos I love the look of these especially the blue and white. Thanks again for replying.

[@edwardwilliammorris1340]

Shame the new models are not are cooled

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Edward, I think Royal Enfield are trying to appeal to New Younger riders. Regards FPPete.

[@johnDukemaster]

Nice bike, nice film...but remove that annoying background music. You don't need that. Thanks!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Noted! Glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for your comment. Regards FPPete.

[@MrAndrew1953]

My main concern is with range and that small fuel tank.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Yeah if you need more than 220km range it may not be the bike for you. Regards FPPete.

[@tony5oos]

at least it has the same power as my ride on lawn mower

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Ha Ha, Thanks Tony, It won't cut the grass but you will have fun trying. Regards FPPete.

[@tony5oos]

@@FULLPELTAdventures well done good reply

[@techimposter5582]

Nah!...i didn't like guerrilla 450... mainly suspension is really bad comparing to Himalayan 450 and rest of bike feels like hunter 350

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for watching the vid and your comment. Motorcycles truly are a individual thing. Some will like the Guerrilla some won't, and I'm glad you had a ride on the bike to help you with your decision. I personally like both the Himalayan and the Guerrilla. The 450 Sherpa engine is a sweet engine. Regards FPPete.

[@roadstrom]

Cheap bikes made in India with crude manufacturing and questionable quality control

[@williambell12]

Unfair comment. Do your research

[@KillVizh]

Guess that's why Triumph, BMW, Harleys are getting theirs made via these Indian companies. Believe me mate these bikes are made to take shit the Africans would start a whole ruckus swearing by these bikes. I would honestly buy a Norton but nah they are owned by these Bumbling curry hopping munchkin pooper curry lova fellas. They take quite some pride riding a Royal Enfield. It's was royalty at a time but us we turned it into a love affair 😂. Drive safe hope ya don't go rolling in a fit of rage mate.

[@___SSS___]

You get what you pay for , if you have money get triumph.

[@Amory98]

Nah they're alright. Quite reliable

[@Blvo1]

Overjudging person. I bet ya if you made bike with same specs with same quality what would it cost! Lower price doesn't mean cheap. Compare the quality to equivalent or a segment above in real. Not in your imaginative limited thoughts. Have a good day brother.
