The Darker Side of Retro.

Unleash your inner rocker with the Herald Cafe 125 in Gloss Black. This is a machine built for the rider who prefers understated cool and brooding aesthetics. The deep, lustrous black finish coats the sculpted tank and side panels, creating a seamless, stealthy profile that looks just as good parked outside a midnight café as it does carving through city streets.

The blackout theme contrasts perfectly with the chrome accents on the exhaust and the spoked wheels, highlighting the bike's classic lines without shouting for attention. It’s a sophisticated, aggressive take on the café racer tradition. Whether you are commuting to the office or escaping the city limits, the Gloss Black edition offers a ride that feels rebellious, sharp, and undeniably premium.

• Authentic Café Racer Styling: Includes a racer-style seat, clip-on handlebars, and bar-end mirrors.

• RACE-TEK Suspension: Adjustable rear shocks ensure a ride that is as smooth as it is responsive.

Q: Is the riding position uncomfortable due to the café racer style? A: The Cafe 125 has a sporty, forward-leaning stance due to the low handlebars, which is authentic to the style.
