Royal Enfield has opened the order books for its new Guerrilla 450 roadster, which is expected to land in Australia in October, with introductory pricing of $8590 rideaway.
The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is available to order in three colourways, with Playa Black the standard trim level, and slightly higher tier Brava Blue and Yellow Ribbon checking in at a $100 premium.
This pricing structure positions the Royal Enfield competitively against its rival in the Triumph Speed 400, which is currently sold from $8990.
The Guerrilla 450 is the second model to be built on Royal Enfield’s ‘Sherpa’ platform, underpinned by a liquid-cooled 452cc single-cylinder engine generating 29kW and 40Nm as well as ride-by-wire and a six-speed transmission.
The Guerrilla 450 roadster was built alongside the Himalayan 450 adventure bike, and while it is motivated by the same engine, it promises a distinctly different riding experience that is purely focussed on the road.
Like the Himalayan, the Guerrilla features a TFT dash, LED lighting and a ‘Tripper’ navigation system.
Royal Enfield is planning to release at least one new model per quarter over the next two years, which is expected to include another model built on the Sherpa 450 platform. Rumours also point to a 650 Scrambler model known as The Bear, as well as a production version of the recently revealed HIM-E electric adventure bike.
