Brat 250

2020 Herald Brat 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Herald's allround motorcycle platform, the 2020 Herald Brat 250 features a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.9 HP (7.2 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 44.4 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Brat 250 measures 147 kg (324 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.85 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 112 km/h (70 mph).
