Herald Motorcycles

Hi fella`s. Maybe you have, but I`ve not heard of these before and just stumbled across them on manxnet. They are over here at the moment promoting their product .... http://manx.net/tv/mt-tv/watch/80522/herald-bikes-at-festival

I think they look lovely little things, 250cc being the biggest they do at the moment but they`re looking into building a 450cc and maybe even a 700cc  I`ve not seen one in the flesh, but I think they look stylish, retro and great fun ... oh and pretty cheap too !! Maybe worth a look ....

Nice looking bikes, but Chinese bikes only make sense to me if they are either very cheap or have a proven reliability record and a good dealer network. They have the same hill to climb as Mash in this respect....

I'm always a bit dubious about the Chineses bikes, however I have seen one that I do very much like the look of. Not sure if it has been mentioned here before but the AJS Cadwell looks a million yen to me!  You would have killed for something that looked like that at 17! It's only a 125cc but under 2 grand  BUT I read recently that they may be making a 400cc version soon ... not THAT might be interesting!!

Could you fit an RFVR motor in the 'AJS Cadwell' frame?

Would make the GB TT an expensive suit of "King's new clothes!", it even has spoked wheels! 

Out to fix a "coffee grinder" motor! 

My regards, Bill

I tried a Mash about a year ago and quite liked it but at nearly £4,000 on the road far too expensive for what it is. I look forward to used models of them and the other Chinese bikes coming on the market after a couple of years. I don't expect their residuals will bee very high.
