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
