Thanks man! I'm onto his old brand now too, Triumph.

Great looking bike, I'm thinking of getting either one of these or the AJS Cadwell.

Good job Nick! I saw one of these for the first time on a London layover . The design really grabbed my attention...

Look for the mash 125 , I know they are in Europe . Same engine etc, mutt just dress them differently. Basically sinnis, hanway, mash, herald, hmc, mutt,lexmoto, are basically the same . Same engine , frame, just varies on forks, seats , colours, wheels.

I've been looking at them since they were launched a few years back now as a second bike. I like the retro style, but I would prefer a 250cc and Mutt did sell a limited number a while back. I'm now considering the Herald 250cc Rambler as it is a descent looking bike for £3500. You will notice a huge difference with your new Street Twin, they are nice also. Good video mate as there aren't many on YT. :)

Got the Mondial HPS 125 and I love it, but thinking about buying one of these as well.

I just love little bikes, I have an MT09 and 07 and where I ride I cannot use one this small but these are beautiful.

the issue is that you can get the same thing from an importer for just shy of 2 grand and the 250 versions at over 4 grand are competing with honda / ktm and other main brands.

I think I’m going to buy this bike tomorrow. Bit daunting choosing a bike with such little experience and no test drives, but I think this bike will be great for me and this review is reassuring.

Thanks for the video! How long did you end up having it for and how many miles did you too? Any major issues with it?

I must say I've been looking at these as a little comuter for work and the occasional bit of green laneing, that said I think the hanway scrambler is my current choice because it has better front suspension and a stainless exhaust, plus better tires for green laning, that said as tempting as it is I'm thinking of getting my bike licence and getting one with a bit bigger of an engine lol

Nice bike. There is a Thai bike manufacturer called Stallions which makes a range of bikes much like this using Chinese parts like this manufacturer does. They do 125, 250 and 400 models. My favourite is the Stallions CT400 Scrambler. In Europe I believe these bikes are called Mash.

I'm 6ft and 129kg...would this suit me? I want a bike but i am a new rider and just passed my A1..I want a 125 and I'm being drawn to these old school looking 125s and the mutt is my favourite!

Hey Nick, Nice Vid. Do you think this will suit/comfortable enough for a 20mile each way from Swanscombe to London Commute? Seriously looking out for a comfortable commuter. Looking at Sinnis scrambler, Mutt Mongrel, Sinnis Terrain, Lexmoto Michigan or Valiant. Will be taking non-motorway route though.

Looking at the difference between the mongrel and the mastiff I just bought, fuel injection rear disk brake the seat on the mastiff is very hard but goes well with a scrambler, and the knobbly tyres one thing I did notice for a 125 is very quick on acceleration as long as you fire it through the gears, clocks are fantastic with the digital display plus it deals with the weather bad weather with no issues. Faults I find the seat takes in water through the fancy stitching plus there's literally no padding more like a wooden plank, the suspension is almost solid, gear change indicator tends to lock but who needs one just a gadget. What I'm a bit confused over is the use of solid plastic brake pipes on moving parts such as front forks and rear swing arm, I see the pipes fracturing in time with sunlight and movement but had experience with brake loss before in the past so no problem to me but still BF Goodridge pipes would have made more sense other than that, love the little bike its more fun than any big bike I own.

Just been looking at these and the new model is fuel injected, so even better! Absolutely stunning bikes and right on our doorstep in Birmingham too. Great review though, definitely helping to swing it for me

Which "rattles" before or during the 1st service do you refer to? Should new bikes not be "rattle-free" at the beginning. Just asking what went wrong. thanks.

Always interested in acceleration and top speed with these light bikes

With two up on the same road we averaged 60-65Mph but also hit 70Mph a couple times..just takes longer to get there... I'm in Colliers Wood near to Wimbledon. if you want to view it let me know!

"just before the first service there were a few rattles here and there, but that's to be expected of a new bike".... no mate, this is exactly NOT what is expected from a NEW bike, it might be expected from a beat up machine bought second hand from someone you don't know, maybe... Within the last 3 years I had 3 new bikes and couple of used ones in my garage and even on the used ones (not even mentioning new ones) there were no "rattles" when taking them into the service, none. If that's "to be expected" from a chinese bike, I am not surprised that they have the opinion as they do...

Hey Lukas, As far as I know Mutt Motorcycles is a sister company to Herald [someone correct me if I'm wrong!]. The bikes are much the same in terms of spec but I've never ridden a Herald machine. I too was looking at them before i bought my mutt but decided on the Mutt as it checked all my boxes in terms of style. MMC are building bigger bikes now too, there was the 250 Mauler and the New Mushman 400 so take your pick. personally for my bigger bike i went with Triumph as i trust their components when I'm doing a ton, but that's no critiscism to Mutt on their reliability and build quality...it was just my preference. Happy hunting!

Had the same bike but sinnis xf, same model. Got me about but get a better brand, they're more reliable

A great looking bike, but 45-50mpg is truly appalling, and a real deal breaker for me. I’ve gotten far more than this in the past from 250’s. With the Ukrainian crisis and petrol going into the stratosphere, I hope the new models are a lot more economical, or this company could soon be out of business. Incidentally, I’d strongly recommend never entertaining spoked wheels on a bike (even though they look great) as they require tubes, which if punctured deflate almost instantly, throwing the bike into a deadly wobble! They now make the FSR 125/250, with cast wheels.

Over priced Chinese replica,Lexmoto Valiant looks similar.

11hp and they are extremely slow even compared to other bikes of the same power
