Mutt Mastiff 250 | Who Said Small Capacity Is No Fun!

[@oliverleifadams2003]

Another good review, thanks. I had a 125cc version & did 4,000 miles on mine before I did my full licence. They look super-cool & a great place to start motorbiking.

[@redangrevival]

👍 Many thanks Oliver, glad you liked the review. Nice 4,000 miles on one, that is a good amount! Cheers

[@awfulwarlock91]

Nice new intro Ang. I am enjoying your reviews, and as a fellow Speedmaster owner, I like the comparisons to the Speedy.

[@redangrevival]

Thanks, thought I would try something new! I always find it easy to compare to the Speedmaster because I just know it so well. Cheers good to hear you are liking the reviews.

[@Disposalist]

Nice one, Gus. I think low capacity simple bikes will be a big thing in coming years. I'm not sure how well Mutts compare with similarly priced Royal Enfield 350s, but they are a bit of a different beast and I wish them well!

[@redangrevival]

Yes that is a good point in regards to them getting more popular. Lower emissions and more fuel efficient etc... I would like to ride the Enfield 350 👍

[@Nifilheimur]

Looks like a great little city bike and certanly looks better than most other bikes in that price range. But id probably go for the Royal Enfield Classic 350. Thats a gorgeous bike.

[@redangrevival]

👍 Yes that is its strongest point I think, great looks especially for the price. I am yet to ride the Enfield 350, I will have to schedule it in. Cheers

[@lilynorthover8378]

Second that Nifilheimur and the seat's lower so better for my short, fat, hairy legs 😉 The Mutts are an iconic fun looking bike though.

[@Disposalist]

@@redangrevival if you come to try the Enfields at Colchester Kawasaki, let me know, I'm near by ;+)

[@shenpensenge]

I own exactly the same Mutt and it is a beautiful & durable bike.

[@redangrevival]

👌 very cool bikes

[@saffrondeen6297]

On the road price is £4550, all new Euro 5 bikes come with digital Speedos which have a fuel gauge, gear indicator and rev counter. They have ABS not combined braking system.

[@redangrevival]

Thank you Saffron 👍

[@crumblymal8479]

Looks nice Angus I have to say not keen on combined braking as a concept but otherwise yep it's an ok bike. Not sure why they elected to use a 250 engine for this bike ,although I can see the appeal in and around town but for me better as a 500/650 good one though : )

[@redangrevival]

Yes I personally would like more power but I think they are trying to appeal to the new rider market more. They are fun bikes if you are in the market for one! Cheers

[@stimsonromano2258]

Thanks for sharing from Australia

[@redangrevival]

My pleasure, cheers glad you enjoyed the video 👍

[@manubushcraftbushsend4439]

Hello, could you tell me what cruising speed it has on the highway, what speed on the road do those cross wheels allow? Thank you, greetings

[@redangrevival]

Hi, unfortunately I did not do any highway riding on it. However I think it would comfortable cruise at 60mph!

[@robeerstout8649]

you sure it's 140 kg dry? on the official website it says 130 kg. Great vid btw, keep on! cheers!

[@redangrevival]

Apologies did I say 130kg, you are correct the website state 140kg dry. Thanks really pleased you liked the video. Cheers

[@DavidGolding-yg8fd]

Great channel. I was looking at these mutts. Do you think there are any in the 250cc range that would suit a taller rider? 6,3”.

[@redangrevival]

Thanks I appreciate it 👍 Yes they great bikes and actually suitable for taller riders as well

[@alessio17msncom]

Hi, thanks for your review... It would be my first bike, but I'm worried that is too small for me... I'm 185cm tall, what you think?

[@redangrevival]

Hi, it is my pleasure, I hope you found the review helpful 👍 The seat height is actually taller than expected. So I think height it should be good for you. A good choice for a first bike, obviously not that fast! But they are stylish and great for city riding/learning. Good luck with your choice.

[@acmdv]

The top speed difference between the 125 & 250 is so little unless you're planning on going over 50mph you might as well buy the 125 & save a bit of money (and weight) plus you can ride a 125 with a CBT.

[@redangrevival]

👍

[@Masoniteable]

830mm seat height. Is it adjustable? I am looking to get back in to biking after a big accident over 10 years ago. I am 6'4" though and don't want to look a wally on it. It does look a descent size for a smaller bike. Does look mega though. Great styling by Mutt.

[@redangrevival]

I don't believe it is adjustable. It is definitely taller than most smaller capacity bikes though. Sorry to hear about your accident. I recommend test riding one if you can 👍

[@Masoniteable]

@@redangrevival Thanks for replying. Yeah i actually spoke with Mutt today and theybsaid to get to a dealership to sit on and test ride. The Razorback is actually 900mm high so as you also said i need to get my northern ass down to the big smoke to sling my lanky pins over one.

[@redangrevival]

@@Masoniteable No worries at all 👍 O nice, yup the Razorback sounds like the one for you then. 900mm is very good! Haha, I actually think Mutt HQ is based in Birmingham. Maybe won't have to travel all the way to the capital! Cheers

[@dgbourdon1325]

I am 5'7" and a 29.5 inside leg.....I think the seat may be a tad on the tall side. Thoughts?

[@redangrevival]

Perhaps on the tall side, but not unmanageable!

[@justkidding9751]

I feel as a seasoned rider that the Mutt hasn't earned its reliability stripes just yet. On this basis I feel it's over priced based on what you can get for the same money ie a 350 bullet from Royal Enfield is in the same ball park.

[@redangrevival]

Yes that’s a fair point. I agree RE 350 classic is a better bike for the money!

[@TomBartram-b1c]

The REs are brand new designs from the ground up and none of them has been tested yet over 50,000 miles/ten British winters whereas these mutts are proven, if obsolete, tech from the gn250s.

[@martinhann7635]

Never heard of this brand. Obviously they don't sell in the EU?

[@redangrevival]

They are a relatively new company. Yes they do sell in the EU 👍

[@simonnmw]

They've got 7 dealers/outlets in Germany and 1 in Austria. Don't know about other countries.

[@Frank-.]

Fuel range?

[@redangrevival]

Not too sure of the range, but it is a 17L fuel tank!! More than the Speedmaster thats for sure haha

[@WyreForestBiker]

I would like to know what your assessment of reliability is based on? As for the term 'Suzuki derived' it says nothing as to the quality of materials or build and is rather disingenuous at best.

[@redangrevival]

Just the general overall reliability of the bike. It is very much built to a budget and this can often have a negative effect on reliability. Suzuki have a brilliant track record for reliability, and this engine is built by them. Stands to reason it may be a reliable engine!

[@WyreForestBiker]

@@redangrevival The engine is built BY Suzuki in a Suzuki factory? ..are you sure of that ? No, Suzuki sold the plans of an old engine to a Chinese company who make it in China with Chinese materials ...it is as much a Suzuki as my £50 Rolex is a Rolex

[@redangrevival]

@@WyreForestBiker Haha fair enough! Although hopefully the basic fundamentals to the engine are still built the same

[@WyreForestBiker]

@@redangrevival The design will be the same but the quality of materials used, the machining and the quality control certainly won't be.( not in my experience for certain) Problem is reviewers parroting disingenuous sales blurb give naive young buyers the idea they are buying a bike with a quality Japanese engine when they're not.

[@redangrevival]

@@WyreForestBiker Yes it is not the perfect review I will admit that, but I strive to get better. Merry Christmas

[@GraaY94]

You think you could get away with some small motorway riding on these?

[@redangrevival]

For not too long a ride, for sure. It will go 65mph no problem. Just takes a bit longer to get there 😉

[@GraaY94]

@@redangrevival Ahh okay! I'm a new rider and it's just going to be a bit of a weekend toy, but I would like to be able to occasionally drive it 2.5 hours to my workplace, which is mainly country 60mph roads but a little bit of motorway. Don't wanna sit there in fear hahah!

[@redangrevival]

@@GraaY94 Nice, welcome to the motorcycle world!! 👍 Many good times to come. I think it would be a brilliant bike for that purpose. Also it is no too small in dimensions so you won't feel to vulnerable on the motorway. I recommend booking one in for a test ride.

[@GraaY94]

@@redangrevival ah thanks for that! I deffo will take a few out for a spin! It seems ideal for me, i just didn't want to end up restricted in where i could go if it was lacking haha!

[@flightofthebirdie2765]

Great vid but had to switch off when the kid started screaming. Noone wants that

[@chrishogg9235]

test rode one of these and I admit they look fantastic but build quality is lacking and the ride is like a 50mph pogo stick, brakes are questionable at best....not sure what long term ownership would be like (Guy doing the review says quality build) cant have ever owned a decent bike😄

[@pggp273]

They look fun little bike but it's a shame that their Chinese origins means that residuals sink faster than the Titanic

[@redangrevival]

Definitely great fun to ride and look brilliant as well. Yes that is a down side, I suppose at least the initial cost is not too much compared to some other bikes these days!

[@simonnmw]

What's the Chinese connection?

[@redangrevival]

@@simonnmw I think the bikes are actually made in China!! Company headquarters are in the UK.

[@simonnmw]

@@redangrevival I thought they were built in Birmingham. That's where the chop shop that the owner used to run is. I'll need to do a big more research. Thanks.

[@redangrevival]

@@simonnmw I am not 100% sure but that is what I am led to believe! Cheers and good luck

[@Metalguitarpete]

I think it’s seriously overpriced compared to the 350 Enfields and the Triumph 400s. Depreciation is horrendous on Mutts. If you want one buy a 1-2 year old bike for half the price

[@redangrevival]

Yup they are a tad over priced!
