Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 review: Unlike any other RE motorcycle

In the past few years, Royal Enfield has revamped its lineup entirely and is now doing the same with its image.

First up, there was the Himalayan to use the new engine, which received a phenomenal response from everyone and then followed the Guerrilla 450. Where the Himalayan is made for munching miles, the Guerrilla is for the streets and the city. We spent some time with the motorcycle, and the Guerrilla 450 did end up surprising us.
