Overview

Introducing the 2020 Herald Brat 125, a stylish and versatile motorcycle that embodies the spirit of modern urban riding while paying homage to classic design elements. Crafted by the UK brand Herald, this all-rounder is perfectly positioned for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a fun and practical machine. With its retro aesthetics and contemporary engineering, the Brat 125 stands out in a crowded marketplace, appealing to those who seek a blend of nostalgia and functionality. At the heart of the Brat 125 lies a robust 124cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a respectable 9.90 horsepower. This powerplant is designed for city commuting and light touring, allowing riders to reach a top speed of 112 km/h (69.6 mph)—ideal for navigating urban environments and open roads alike. The six-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifting, while the air-cooled system keeps the engine performing optimally even on warmer days. Riders will appreciate the lightweight 147 kg (324.1 pounds) frame, which contributes to the bike's agility, making it a joy to maneuver through traffic and tight corners. The Brat 125 is not just about engine performance; it’s packed with features that enhance the overall riding experience. Its sturdy steel frame is complemented by a USD telescopic fork in the front and a monoshock in the rear, providing a balanced and responsive ride. The single disc brakes at both ends offer reliable stopping power, ensuring safety without compromising the bike's vintage charm. Additionally, the electric starter adds convenience for those early morning rides, while the available color options—green, grey, and yellow—allow riders to express their unique style. **

Pros

  • Stylish Design: The retro-inspired aesthetics make it a head-turner on the streets.
  • Lightweight & Agile: At just 147 kg, the Brat 125 is exceptionally easy to handle, perfect for urban commuting.
  • User-Friendly Features: With an electric starter and a smooth six-speed gearbox, this bike is designed for ease of use.

Cons

  • Limited Power: While adequate for city riding, the 9.90 HP output may feel underwhelming for those seeking high-speed thrills.
  • Fuel Capacity: The 110 liter fuel tank may require more frequent refueling compared to larger bikes, especially on longer trips.
  • Single Cylinder Vibration: As with many single-cylinder bikes, some riders may experience more vibration at higher speeds compared to multi-cylinder options.
