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 7,500 rpm 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.
