          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450

            • The bike gets the same engine as the Himalayan 450. It offers plenty of performance in the adventure bike, so expect similar levels of performance in the Guerrilla too.
            • Being lighter and smaller than the Himalayan in terms of dimensions, the Guerrilla should be easy to manage in everyday commutes.

            Jawa 42

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy
          • Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450

            • Instead of the more advanced inverted fork, the Guerrilla 450 gets a traditional telescopic fork.
            • The 11-litre fuel tank is 6 litres smaller than the one in the Himalayan 450. This may affect the total range in long rides.
            • The 780mm seat height should be low enough for most of the shorter riders to place their feet on the ground comfortably.

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

            Jawa 42 Cosmic Rock DT
            I have 42 Cosmic rock dt , bike is performance vice so great it smokes RE’s and great features and comfort and safety , breaking is accurate and to the point , i dont feel any issue at all regarding ground clearance. It is decent . The only problem is mileage, i get only around 25 in the city and 30 on highway with avg speed of 80 and other problem is engine heating , yes it heats alot. Overall bike is great i love it . Just the mileage and heating is negative point
