Mutt Motorcycles started out doing custom work but after a number of years of building some “serious” bikes, Mutt decided that the rest of the market needed something without the “serious” price tag. It is with that notion that the brand set out to take its experience in the custom scene to its lineup of production motorcycles. The initial offering from Mutt includes a selection of 125cc and 250cc models, and this is the 2022 Mutt Grand Tourer Super Single 250, or the GT-SS for short.
To get into custom bikes, you’d need a bike, a custom shop, and a lot of money. Labor isn’t cheap, parts can get expensive, and it’s not uncommon for the bill to overtake the price of the bike itself. While there are some “cafe” style bikes out in the market that come straight from the factory with some very classic cues, Mutt wanted to make something special in the small-cc category—but is it?
Perhaps it is special for now since Mutt hasn’t entered the United States with its lineup, so how did we get one to ride? The unit that we got is a Philippine-spec model and it was loaned out by the distributors of the brand in the country. With the number of small-cc bikes in Asia, it was a bit of a no-brainer for Mutt to first offer its lineup where the market is small bike crazy, and where the custom scene can get pretty crazy as well. ☺
