Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 - Is it Enough?

[@magaudion]

I’ve got a Himalayan 450 with same engine . Rode it around Picos in Spain then back through France to UK and averaged 77 mpg all in. Brilliant bike.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thats very good, those savings will add up quickly

[@mattstringer7838]

I've gone from a 1290 ktm adventure to a cf moto 450 mt and would not go back. Nothing to do with cost but a light bike that's fun, we'll made and good quality. Once you stop buying with your ego the smaller bikes are much better

[@ontheroadadventure]

I am really interested in this bike actually, it looks like a real do it all. Whats the service intervals on it?

[@mattstringer7838]

@ontheroadadventure hmmm I think it's low at 3000 miles but I expect they will increase to 6000. It's a great bike, a twin that sounds great. It's still a 450 so no rocket ship nut decent enough. I'm sure you have but take a look at nathan the postman views of it :)

[@ontheroadadventure]

Is it smooth to ride? or vibrates like this one? 3k miles would be no good to me especially if i need to find a dealer to service it in order to keep the warranty, it would cost me a fortune with the miles we do

[@titchman100]

​@mattstringer7838 my dealer informed me that the cf moto is 620 first service and then 6000 4 years warranty and the 7 year European brakedown cover subject to honouring the service schedule

[@mattstringer7838]

@ontheroadadventure I test rode the himmy 450 and was literally numb after. The cf moto is much smoother , i added the larger front sprocket to reduce revs at 70 mph. It's a lot smoother than the himmy. It also sounds great. I'm sure the service interval will be extended. I had an AT 1100 and just found it really top heavy to so I always feel for your guys having to turn around on small gravel roads fully loaded

[@andywebb6640]

As I said on FB, I've moved from 1000cc bikes to both a RE 650 Interceptor and a 350 Bullet! The Bullet has 20hp and has been the most fun I've had on a bike for years. I wouldn't take it on a motorway though! The 650 twin is a great A and B road blaster too, without worrying about my licence.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Royal Enfield defo need to have a little more time from me, i do love how the 650's look

[@dutchdryfly]

Just changed in August from a VStrom 1043 cc to an Aprilia 457 cc. Tried the RE 650’s, 350’s and the Moto Guzzi V7. I returned from a test ride and saw the Aprilia. Having never ridden a sportsbike I took the chance to try one. And it felt like it was the right bike for me. Yes it has a lot less power but it still reaches speeds where you will loose your licence and moving it around in storage is a lot easier.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Yes these size bikes can still go fast enough to get you in trouble! As long as you return from a ride smiling then that is all that matters, the fact that it will also save you money is a bonus

Thanks bud, Much appreciated

[@chrisperrott5457]

I had the same pre-conceptions as you. I speak as a biker of over 40 years' experience. My last 4 bikes have been GSA's. I felt it was time to downsize, and test rode several makes and models. I plumped for the new Himalayan 450 in the end, because it put a massive grin on my face during the time I had it. The engine is brilliant, its a good size bike for me (i'm 6ft2). I have a feeling it will go anywhere I want it to. I get no vibes at all, I have a suspicion that demo bikes are ragged from day one, and careful running in is a must. I'm wondering if it's the best bike I've ever owned!

If its nut run in gently it will always be a bad bike

Some years ago I owned a 1982 Yamaha XS650, which did not impress me power wise spoken. It wasn't fast at all... But you're absolutely right; it is much more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow; I had so much fun with this slow bike, no really! My current Yamaha MT-01 (1670Cc) thumpin' V-twin in a Yamaha R1 frame with R1 suspension front and rear and also R1 brakes is not fast by any means but dancing with this big girl along a river following road and those two exhaust pipes right under your seat barking...oh man, no really, who needs speed anyway... I have the most fun at low speeds with only 90 Horse Power but 150 Nm Torque. So in a way the size of the engine has grown, but it still isn't a fast bike, and yet I don't care. So I fully understand your statement about mid-sized motorcycles; they rock ! You can have such a fun riding these bikes... You should take a bike like this to the river Mosel in Germany and ride along the river and dance with her.... man you'll fall in love with her ! Ask me how I know.. ;-)

[@ontheroadadventure]

Man did you sell that MT01 to me then!

[@dutchyjhome]

@@ontheroadadventure Well..., I'd rather keep her for now if you don't mind, the love is still there you know, but I am sure you'll be able to get one, if you really want one... ;-) Yamaha has done this the same recipe a few times now: Take a grand thumpin' V-twin and put it in a regular naked bike: In the early 80s: The Yamaha TR1, and then a little later in the early 2000s The Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog and then as off 2005 the Yamaha MT-01. They obviously did the same trick with different models and different engines, like the Yamaha SR500 --> creating the absolute very first Off-Road machine in the world: The Yamaha XT500 and how about the Yamaha Venture --> creating the very first drag bike the Yamaha V-Max and so on... Yamaha therefor was mostly the very first to come up with a new kind of bike no-one had ever seen before... Yamaha therefor is the inventor, most other makes are copiers of the ideas Yamaha came up with ;-) Just trying to make friend here...hahaha

Looking at the revs/speed it looks identical to my new 450 Himalayan 4000rpm 50mph initial running in and the trip computer showed 99.9mpg on Vpower super unleaded - not bothering with e95 or the Eco mode. Now after first service, with 6000rpm 70mph until 1200 miles there is nothing lacking, either local roads or the A38, brillaint over dartmoor. Pretty sure it will be 90mpg everywhere once running in completed and 'dropping down' from a bmw r1200RS, which I am keeping, this range of bikes is not a small engine or what I consider a downgrade. The engine vibrations really do reduce after the first service and the engine did feel very tight from new but every mile gets better and Chris at CMS was correct. This engine will surprise many people - check out the feedback from 'fuzzy biker' who has now covered an amazing 11,000 miles in less than two months,

[@boringtouringwhenpouring5038]

Would the 650 really be a big difference from the 450? When looking at hp figures, a 20 hp bike is not twice as fast as a 10 hp bike, a 40 hp bike is not twice as fast as a 20 hp bike. Will the extra 7 hp between the 450 and 650 make that much difference, with the 650 weight increase?

I have tried downsizing but it did mot go well. I will not knock anyone that finds the smaller / middleweight bikes right for them. I found the smaller capacity bikes fast enough but not powerful enough. They are constantly close to full throttle to maintain speed, and lack the effortless overtaking ability. I am sure I will now be shot down by people with different opinions. I am now riding the heaviest and largest capacity bike I have ever owned at the age of 69, and hope I can manage for a few more years.

[@ontheroadadventure]

Out of curiousity which bike did you have and is it s BMW GSA you have now?

[@boringtouringwhenpouring5038]

I have tried downsizing a few times over the years. The last time was a Suzuki Inazuma 250. This bike lasted 18 months before I moved it on. I purchased a BMW R1150RT as a stop gap bike for less than I got for the Inazuma and kept that bike over 5 years. I then looked at downsizing again but decided against it and purchased a six year old BMW K1600 GT with 16500 miles on the clock in June this year. I have put 5000 miles on the clock, so far so good. I love the bike.

Always can rely on you Rich for a good honest review 👍🏼 The surprise in your voice said it all when you had it in Performance mode!!! Most people that do reviews on these mid range bikes usually state there’s not much difference??? But I suspect they usually ride sports bikes ??? Shame about the use of the name Sherpa on the engine, just reminds me of the Leyland Sherpa vans I drove back in the day which were absolutely shite 😂😂 but I’m sure this is not the case with the Enfield! As in my opinion they produce fantastic motorcycles 👍🏼 Keep up the excellent reviews mate 😎

[@ontheroadadventure]

Thanks bud, there’s no doubt there’s a difference between the modes 👍

[@volt8684]

I agree a smaller lighter bike but… this is still lacking in my opinion. It needs another 10-20bhp to still be exciting. My very old Honda cb500 was 60bhp and probably lighter than this. They still race the 500s. Having tested a lot of bikes, yes 48bhp is ok as transport but if you want that overtaking thrill that still excites me then 70bhp is my sweet spot. Just my opinion I think it’s as ugly as… Like many older riders, we want twin clocks. I know I am in the minority and many love RE but I don’t. I test rode the himalayan24bhp and the 650. Even the 650 did not impress me. Then again I have had a few 250/300 scooters which are only 24-34bhp and loved them. It’s a different purpose though. I still like a thrill occasionally. I am still unconvinced on their reliability and longevity. Lots of vloggers having to replace/repair parts. Give me a light 500cc with 70bhp with Japanese build. Great review Rich. Not a negative comment just my own thoughts. Rest day rider has gone from RE to a CF Moto and I think what she says is right. To put it into perspective my 2 stroke 250s used to do just under a ton and I still went up to 500 and 750 and beyond. I could not stand the vibes

[@ontheroadadventure]

That CF moto looks impressive i cant wait to ride one. Also the T7 fits nicely in that sweet spot but is a bit tall. I guess i just like all bikes and respect each for their Pros and cons... The unicorn doesnt exist yet.... Which is probably a good thing...

It's never about the bikes, it's about me. I'm 6'4" tall, and weigh in a just under 300 pounds. and coming off of a Honda Goldwing. I still need something in the mid-range market, for my size. Just for me, a 650cc bike, would get me from zero to sixty in four hours and fifteen minutes. I wanted something in the 800 range, just to have a little comfort. But, after spending 24,500.00 on my wing. I'm looking at toning if down a lot. Price ranges in the 8 to 12 K range. I'll ride 95% road, and 5% trails. (only to get to a campsite). so, something with 70/30 tires. Here, in the USA, sizing between 650 and 900cc are limited. So, when CF MOTO came around, I was a bit sceptic. But the reviews speak for themselves. Royal Enfield makes some really nice bikes, (followed Itchy Boots) before, falling in love with your page. But everything I buy, has to fit me, not the other way around.

no they are press bikes

Yes you were wrong. Too busy stroking your own ego to realise what a himmy should be used for. 24 bhp is sufficient for some of the roads I ride and could spank someone trying to ride 100bhp on the same roads

The great thing about motorcycles is the selection available each great in their own way and in their own respective environment. 24hp is no good to me for how and where i ride, BUT the new 40hp is now closer to the mark. As long as you enjoy your motorcycle it matters not which cc or which brand it is, as long as it puts a smile on your face
