Overview

Introducing the 2023 Herald Maverick 125, a charming entry in the all-round motorcycle category that perfectly embodies the spirit of freedom. As a proud product of a UK brand, Herald has crafted this lightweight bike for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts seeking a nimble companion for urban commutes or weekend adventures. With its retro-inspired aesthetics and modern engineering, the Maverick 125 stands out in a crowded market, promising a blend of style, performance, and accessibility. At the heart of the Maverick 125 is a robust 125cc engine, delivering a spirited 10.0 HP, allowing riders to enjoy a top speed of 96.6 km/h (60.0 mph). The air-cooled, injected engine ensures smooth power delivery, while the 5-speed gearbox provides precise shifting for an engaging ride. Whether you're darting through city traffic or cruising along winding country roads, the Maverick’s lightweight frame—tipping the scales at just 120 kg—offers remarkable agility and responsiveness. Coupled with a telescopic front fork and twin shocks at the rear, the bike absorbs bumps effortlessly, enhancing rider comfort and confidence on any terrain. The Maverick 125 is not just about performance; it comes packed with thoughtful features that elevate the riding experience. An electric starter system makes ignition effortless, while the stylish color options—Burnt Orange, Shadow Black, and Stealth Grey—allow you to express your individuality. With a fuel capacity of 12 liters, this motorcycle offers a respectable range for day trips, ensuring you can focus on the journey rather than frequent stops. The generous seat height of 885 mm (34.8 inches) strikes a balance between comfort and control, making it suitable for a wide array of riders. **
