The Guerrilla 450 is based on the Himalayan 450

 

While the new Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is based on the Himalayan 450 and borrows a few body parts, the overall design is miles away from it. Being a neo-retro roadster, the Guerrilla is a sporty-looking motorcycle with the classic silhouette of a roadster. Styling cues on the motorcycle include the round headlamp, round mirrors, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, one-piece seat and small side panel. The tail section of the motorcycle is more in line with the Himalayan 450, featuring similar body panels, and the same set of indicators with integrated brake lights .

For the suspension setup, you get a telescopic fork unit instead of USDs as offered on the Himalayan, meanwhile, the rear is the same featuring a link-type monoshock. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both ends (310 mm-front and 270 mm-rear). The motorcycle has a seat height of 780 mm and a kerb weight of 185 kg.
