The Hercules K 125 is a light military motorcycle from the West German manufacturer Hercules (Nuremberg), produced from approximately 1970 to 1985. It was used by the Bundeswehr (BW version) and several other Western European armed forces for liaison and light logistics duties. The 123cc air-cooled two-stroke engine produces modest power but is extremely easy to maintain in the field. The motorcycle is compact and robust, available in two variants that differ in front wheel suspension design.
The Hercules K 125 is today a sought-after classic military motorcycle among collectors and historical motorcycle groups. Its simple construction makes it accessible for restoration, and original parts circulate through military surplus networks and specialist Hercules clubs. It rivals the DKW Hummel and Zündapp KS 50 Bundeswehr versions in collectible status.
