Mutt Mongrel/Hilts

[NE150N80]

Hi guys.

 

So in my motorbike infancy (my wife and I have our CBT in a few weeks), but I’ve begun to understand that when searching for a 125, most people will advise to go with Japanese makes and avoid Chinese makes at all costs because of depreciation, faults etc etc.

 

So I wanted to gets peoples thoughts on Mutt’s machines. My understanding is that they’re engines are Chinese built but they are Suzuki engines built to spec, which is then shipped over to UK and the bike is built by Mutt in Birmingham.

 

We probably won’t be looking to sell the bike on quickly (so not looking for a quick ROI), because although I’m looking to graduate to my full A Licence in a few months, my wife may stick on the 125 for longer.

 

Anybody have any thoughts or opinions on Mutt bikes?

 

Thanks

 They typically swap the handlebars, seat, mudguards, exhaust system and details like bar grips and rear light. Everything else is as it comes out of the factory

 

its pretty much a Chinese bike they amend. About 65% of it is Chinese.

Ok yep - read enough reviews over the last couple of hours to confirm there is a real trend in Chinese bikes coming over to England and getting some form of classic styling with an inflated price tag, which you could get a CB125R with a few miles on!

 

Thanks all
