I see Enfield have brought out a competitor to the 400 Triumph The Guerrilla.looks very smart I think better looking and undercuts the Triumphs price.. Built on the Him chassis .... Also I don't know if its available in the UK but in my Aussi magazine .the Enfield Shotgun a re-modle of the Himalayen in touring trim also looking very nice..Tonupdave..T.U.D.

It will be interesting to see which sells best. Its definitely a market sector where sales competition is hot, and getting hotter as more manufacturers launch models. There's also a 400cc Harley Davidson available in some countries.
I thought the RE Shotgun was a cruiser / bobber based on their other 650s so with no relationship to the Himalayan??

It is - it is a stripped down / bobber version of the Meteor 650 twin cruiser that uses the Interceptor engine in a different frame & running gear. Better finish & Showa USD front suspension rather than the Interceptor's Gabriel convention forks, but they are chunky lumps up close.
Saw the launch video of the new Guerilla 450 the day it went live - came to the conclusion I am not the target audience ! From the style of the presentation + the accompanying noise masquerading as background music I appear to be about 40 years older than their intended sustomers.
At least the Guerillas have some better colour options than the new Himalayan - they are all rather dull & uninspired IMO. Another chunky lump in the flesh & the redesigned rear suspension makes them rather long in the wheelbase department.

The RE Guerilla looks much larger physically than the Triumph Speed 400 and weighs 184kg wet against the Triumph's 170kg wet. Same horses output but the Speed 400 has slightly fewer torques. I like the RE colour choices. If only more bike manufacturers bothered.To advertise here, please call...
