I was at my local MOT station a couple of weeks ago and they have become a Herald bike dealer
I looked around a couple of 125s and a 250 they had and they told me they were made in England
I said I doubt it they are Chinese
But apparently 85% of the bike is made in England?
The engines are Chinese
The quality did look very high for the price,at least they had a full stainless steel exhaust system

Maybe they could get together with triumph
And bring out a "triumph herald"!!
 
Kinda weird that a Chinese bike could have 85% of it made in the UK
 
They use Zongshen’s NC450 engine for that 500.

(Edited to fix the engine reference)

Yes, I was wrong. I was reading an article about the Brute and they made an oblique reference to one of their smaller bikes using the Honda engine. The Brute uses Zongshen’s NC450.
