This bike looks like a great combination of classic and sporty design.
2. Engine and performance

5. Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
The mileage of Guerrilla 450 is said to be around 28–30 kmpl, which can be considered good for a bike with a 450cc engine. Mileage may vary slightly on city and highway, but considering the performance, it is satisfactory.
6. Price and Launch Details
Although the company has not launched it yet, but according to reports, the price of Guerrilla 450 can be around ₹ 2.60 lakh to ₹ 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. This bike can be launched by mid-2025. It will compete directly with bikes like Honda CB350, Jawa 42 Bobber and Yezdi Roadster.
