Strip it back. Rev it up. Make a statement.

The Herald Brat 250 is not just a motorcycle; it’s an attitude. Designed for the rider who wants the raw, custom-garage aesthetic straight out of the box, the Brat 250 combines aggressive "brat style" looks with modern reliability and accessible performance. Whether you are tearing through city traffic or carving up back roads on a Sunday, this bike demands attention.

A Modern Classic

Drawing inspiration from the stripped-down custom scene, the Brat 250 features a distinctively rugged silhouette. With its brushed aluminium tank, short mudguards, and flat bench seat, it captures the essence of a bespoke build without the months of wrenching. The monoshock rear suspension provides a clean, uncluttered rear end, while the chunky all-terrain tyres hint at its scramble-ready capabilities.

Punchy Performance

At the heart of the beast is a robust 249cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. It delivers a punchy, responsive ride that is perfect for the urban commute but possesses enough torque to keep you smiling on the open road. The 6-speed gearbox allows for comfortable cruising at higher speeds, making it versatile for both city streets and country lanes.

Built for the Ride

The Brat 250 isn’t just about looks; it’s built to handle. The upside-down front forks offer superior stability and handling, giving you confidence in the corners. Combined with a lightweight frame and a low seat height, it offers an agile and manageable ride for learners and seasoned bikers alike.
