Also, this makes the 450cc motorcycle segment in India extremely competitive. There are many compelling products in this space. Hence, the buyers get a plethora of bikes to choose from. That has become the case only in the last couple of months. For now, let us take a look at how comfortable you can be on the RE Guerrilla 450 with this seat height test.
RE Guerrilla 450 Seat Height Test
This video arrives from Xtreme BHP on YouTube. The host has the new RE Guerrilla 450 in what looks like a showroom. To test the comfort of the seat, he has men who are between 5 ft 4 inches and 6 ft 2 inches tall. This covers a wide range of spectrum. It won’t be wrong to assume that almost all Guerrilla 450 owners will fall within this range. One by one, the YouTuber invites each of the participants to sit on the bike and try their riding posture. Looking at the condition of their feet, they are able to confirm whether or not they will be able to ride confidently. Each of them answers positively. Note that the seat height of the motorcycle is 780 mm.
The RE Guerrilla 450 uses the same engine as the Himalayan 450. Hence, it comes with the 452cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder DOHC 4-valve Sherpa engine which belts out a decent 40.02 PS @8,000 RPM and 40 Nm @5,500 RPM of peak power and torque. This engine pairs with a 6-speed transmission with a wet multi-plate and slip-and-assist clutch. It even gets a ride-by-wire technology with a 42 mm throttle body. The bike comes with a steel tubular frame using the engine as a stressed member. At the front, it gets 43 mm telescopic forks with 140 mm travel and a linkage-type mono-shock at the rear with 150 mm wheel travel. It is priced between Rs 2.39 lakh and Rs 2.54 lakh, ex-showroom.
