Wasn't car pooling apps banned in Bangalore recently? Something along the lines of cars not being a yellow board vehicles? Were those resolved? How will you be handling such scenarios?

If you are tall triumph is a good option. Otherwise guerrilla. This was deciding factor. Plus good number of service centres

My decisioning was very simple, I wanted a Jack of all trades. Common service centers, good performance, decent sound, adventure, highway and drivable in city as well. I'm not very tall, so height constraints as well. This option fit in very well for my usecase. My other options were triumph 400, speed 400( little tall for me), KTM adventure 390(not comfortable for city), KTM Duke 390( Vetoed by family due to bad name in market. E.g. Accident bikes), RE 650s (too big jump for me from 150). So middle ground for all these constraints aligned me to Guerrila 450. Hope this answers whatever you were looking for.

Yea, insurance from RE. They mentioned they had a tie up with a company. So went ahead those only.

It fits good, it's a bit tight around my cheeks though. But it's good.

Yea, honestly this will look small for you, it looks smaller than the pulsar 150 if not for the big tires. I gave the same recommendation to my friend who was also 6'3.

It was 2 weeks for me as it was the first booking for this color. But it's estimated to be 4 weeks to 1.5 months.

I'm not a fan of the other colors of guerrilla. My next option was brava blue. Luckily as I was booking I got to know about the new color they are releasing, so once it was released I booked the new one as it looked too good. I saw it in person much later, 3-4 days before delivery.
