Herald
450 Scrambler
British firm Herald
showcased two new 450 cc models at last week’s Motorcycle Live show including
this scrambler priced at £ 4,750 on the road.
It’s got a Chinese-made
aluminium frame and liquid-cooled 449 cc single-cylinder engine making a claimed
44 hp at 7,500rpm and 31 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm. Dry weight is 130 kg and claimed top
speed 110 mph. The seat height is 780 mm and the fuel capacity 14 litres.
Herald Sales Manager
Michael Fish said the sub-frame was still in development. It was displayed at
Motorcycle Live at Birmingham’s NEC alongside another liquid-cooled 450 single
featuring more contemporary, aggressive styling. Called the Rottweiler, it’s
described by Herald as ‘an aggressive street-styled naked bike’ with a
‘motocross derived set-up, class-leading throttle response and middleweight
fast turning agility’.
It’s also said to make
44 hp. Price is subject to individual customer specifications, the firm said.
Cambridgeshire-based Herald’s current rage consists of low-priced retro-styled
125s and 250s.
