The Royal Enfield design studios in Bruntingthorpe and Chennai have been cranking out new bikes at a prodigious rate over the last few years, and show no sign of having a break any time soon. The latest release is the new Guerrilla 450 (to be named the GRR across Latin America, for obvious reasons), a sporty roadster using the Sherpa 452cc engine. The single-cylinder motor produces 40PS (39.5hp) and 40Nm of torque, and is teamed with a six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. The tubular steel twin-spar frame is paired with 17in wheels, an 11-litre fuel tank and minimal bodywork. As with every new bike, tech is present, with switchable twin riding modes and LED lighting front and rear on all three variants – Analogue, Dash and Flash. The entry level Analogue misses out on the Tripper Dash – a 4in infotainment screen that provides navigation, route logging, music and other features in conjunction with the RE app. The Guerrilla 450 Analogue comes in silver for £4850 SRP, with the Dash in a choice of black or gold for £4995, and the Flash getting fancier yellow or blue colourways for £5050 SRP.
