Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450: Design

Though it shares some visual similarities with the Himalayan, the Guerrilla 450 is a roadster bike with modest design alterations, making it suitable for the road. In contrast to the Himalayan, you get an 11-litre fuel tank that is long and sleek, a single-piece seat, and a circular LED headlamp up front flanked by LED turn indicators. The remaining body panels, the same as those on the Himalayan, include the side panels, the tail section, and the short exhaust.
