HERALD CLASSIC MUTT 125 RETRO CLASSIC COOL MOTORBIKE MOTORCYCLE SCRAMBLER

So. to be honest we thought we were cool at 2wheeljunkie. then we met the Herald 125cc Mutt. To be honest the best people to explain what it is and how it came about are they guys at Mutt. SO. YOU WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE MUTT?O. k here goes. one of our main objectives was to keep the cost of 'The Mutt' as low as possible and still provide a quality product and with that in mind we needed a base to work from. We began a relationship with The Herald Motorcycle Company with their approval to use the ‘Classic’ model as a base for our motorcycleWhy did we choose to use the HMC Classic?Aside from the fantastic reviews and roadtests we had read about on the HMC Classic we also did our own research. the HMC uses a version of the bullet proof Suzuki GN 125 made by a Suzuki partner which is in itself a perfect starting point. combined with spoked wheels. rear drum brake. a stylish British inspired tank and a classic frame shape and seat the HMC spoke to us. If you want to know how we did our own research check out the blog. we gave this puppy our own tests and could we break it? Not a chance. this motorcycle works and performs just like any modern Japanese 125cc bike. So how does the Mutt differ from the standard HMC Classic and other similar factory produced bikes?Well. we have a history of modifying motorcycles and in fact building them from scratch - we just can’t leave a standard motorcycle alone. We love the little HMC Classic in it’s stock form but for us it didn’t quite cut it. although it has beautiful retro styling it needed that bit of extra oomph. The first job is to swap those wheels and tyres out. the stock wheel sizes are 16” and 17” with standard road tyres. o. k for a little commuter but not suitable for mud plugging. curb jumping and hacking through city traffic. We rebuild our wheels with stainless steel spokes and chrome rims. 'The Mutt' runs an 18” front and back which lifts and lightens the bike and gives it more of a 60’s/70’s British bike vibe. we also dump the standard suspension and add a set of higher quality adjustable chrome shocks combined with the vintage Dunlop block style tyres 'The Mutt' Has a stance Steve Mcqueen would be proud of. Our wheels are built right here in England. We just knew there was a bit more power hidden in that little engine so we made a new free flowing high level exhaust system for 'The Mutt' We then had it triple chrome plated and topped it off with a chrome Burgess silencer. a bit of extra power and an engine that sounds like it should - perfect. To continue with the desert sled vibe we went for high mounted aluminium mudguards front and back with a little flexible rear light. We can supply our Mutts with or without front mudguards. we think they look kinda cool without one. What else do we do?We go over these bikes top to bottom. each motorcycle is inspected and checked front to back then road tested by our fully qualified motorcycle mechanics in our workshops in rural England. Of course you are not limited to our standard Mutt. we can create a whole lot of cool styles with these bikes. from 60’s influenced dirt bikes to full industrial strength satin black thumpers. or maybe you just want a variation on the standard Mutt paintwork or a different style of tyre? We have plenty of ideas and can personalize your Mutt for you. So what do you get for your money?You get a brand new Mutt motorcycle with two years warranty. all you have to do is RIDE.
