I’ve never been more disappointed by a motorcycle! The MUTT GT SR 125. This bike is up for sale for £2999 @in2moto480 it looks amazing but I’ve never been more disappointed with how it rides. It’s slow. It vibrates like nothing I’ve ever ridden. It’s the first time I’ve ever experienced riding a 125cc tractor. It’s just not for me. #motorbike #motorcycle #newbike #english #bike #gillybikes #bikes #mutt #worst #worstbike #worstmotorcycle #mutt #125 #england #motorcyclereview #bikereview #awful #poor #poo #garbage #tractor

    1. For a start the mudguards are almost non extant & look totally useless . The appears to be a low budget generic Chinese offering that’s sold under a number of names all over the world . I reckon Sinnis & Lexmoto have or had a version of it , should be reliable even if agricultural ,but I reckon there are better budget Chinese bikes out there to be had . It’s not unknown for certain importers to spend a few quid slightly upgrading & tarting up these generic Chinese 125 / 250 scrambler styled bikes , & banging up the price point twice the price . If you can get a used one that’s in reasonable tidy & running condition for a couple of hundred quid ,they may be worth a punt ,if your handy on the spanner’s . Other wise I would give them a wide berth .

    2. These Chinese bikes are all the same. Started out on a bluroc/bullit hero and it was an absolute POS. Went rusty after 6 months then died due to electrical issues after only 800 miles. No shop would touch it and dealer didnt want to know, warranty was never honored. Dont do it. Sold it for spares and repairs and bought a 2002 Kawasaki Eliminator instead. Was less rusty and more reliable at 21 years old and 20,000 more miles. Lost over £2000 all in.

    3. Looks dont mean nothing to me. Its all about the ride. Unless you like looking at your reflection in the shop windows whilst passing by which aint the safest thing to do.

    4. In all honesty that bike is for someone who has not got a clue about motorcycles. Utter rubbish to be soon sold for spares repairs. It is a mutt after all. The name should let you know its a dog.

    5. Today's learners have a vast choice of 125's from numerous manufacturers (most Chinese!!).

      Back in the 1980's, there were only 8 manufacturers selling 125's in the UK (how many can you name?).
      .
      The 1980's 125's were divided into two groups, 2 stroke 125's and slow (4 stroke) 125's..

    6. style wise it looks ok but the quality of the mutt bikes just isn't there, they just don't last well at all, the engines usually fine as it's based off the suzuki GS/GN range but the rest is where it gets let down, on the performance note I've found the older carbed model of these bikes and similar ones have a little more oomph in them, something about the EFI on these with the GS/GN copy engine just doesn't play nice together.

    7. It's 11bhp. It's not going to be quick. This bike is designed as an entry-level learner bike for a 17 year old who is probably built like a racing snake and who has only ridden a pedal cycle before.
      To that young person, this bike will feel like a rocket!

      Also to that 17 year-old, image is important and the Mutt (as you correctly observe) looks the part. That bike will give a sense of freedom and control to that 17 year-old and they will have a lot of fun with it. That's the point of this type of motorcycle.

      My first bike was a Honda CB100, with just 10bhp! That didn't stop me (aged 17) riding from Peterborough to John O'Groats via Oban and back again; that's 2000 miles in ten days on a slow bike in the 1980's, way before mobile phones, sat nav and the internet.

      Anyway, off to Europe next week on my 411 Royal Enfield Himalayan, just 24 bhp. Not booked my return ferry as I write this. Hey ho. Have fun.

      Love and peace.

    8. The biggest problem with these bikes is the engines are strangled by the need to keep the emmissions within the euro 4/5 spec which means they are never going to set the world on fire, or anything else for that matter. You could try fitting a slightly larger rear sprocket, one or two teeth, no more, which will improve the acceleration a little but this will sacrifice top speed a little but at least you will get there!.

    9. They are nice looking bikes but I know local Kawasaki dealer uses to sell Mutt but dropped franchise as not happy with support from supplier.
      People day stick with Japanese but it only seems to be Chinese that offer retro 125

    10. I had a 125 Sabbath bronze for a year. It was so painfully slow. Admittedly I'm 6ft tall, 13 stone. I'm not the heaviest bloke but this little bike wasn't capable of getting to 50mph unless the road was flat and there was no wind. Looked great though

    11. Back in February , I bought a secondhand Bullit 125 on a 2020 plate . The previous owner had kept it outside under a cover , so there was some surface rust on it ( easily sorted ) . Since February , I have put almost 800 miles on it , and it hasn't missed a beat . Speedwise , I have had it up to 70mph ( downhill with a southerly wind behind me😃) , but realistically you are looking at anywhere between 50-60mph . I have taken it on the Motorway too , where it will sit at 55-60 okay , which isn't a problem for me personally . The standard chain on the bike is poor , I have had to adjust it a couple of times in almost 800 miles , so I'll be swapping it out for a better quality chain ..My only concern regarding reliability on my bike would possibly be the " electrics" ….
      Anway , that's my experience so far on a 2020 Bullit 125 …..
      So regarding the " Mutt " ……the bikes look fantastic , but are vastly overpriced . They are almost identical to the Bullit but are almost twice the price ( brand new and secondhand ) The reason for that probably , is that they are " tarted up " here in the UK which puts the cost up ….But ….?????…..Would I buy one ????……the answer to that one would be YES , but it would be one of the 250 variants , which I like the looks of personally ….cheap to run and easy to maintain …..Cheers👍
