A Rewarding Ride
Bike India
|October 2025
RECEIVED THE KEYS TO OUR Royal Enfield Guerilla 450 long-term test motorcycle about two months ago, and having added over 1,100 km to the odometer since then, I can safely say it is one of the most perfectly imperfect motorcycles I've lived with.
Sure, it has its flaws: the pillion seat is comfortable only for a short ride around town and the pillion is positioned rather, erm, too intimately close to the rider. The chunky 160/60 R17 rear tyre has the habit of spraying mud on to your back at the slightest opportunity. The engine, too, needs to be properly warmed up before you can get the best out of it.
