The Mutt Razorback might be the coolest 125cc bike available

The Mutt Razorback is a retro-styled learner legal machine with flat-track styling and a tiddly price tag

Mutt Razorback 125

THE trend for learner-legal retro motorcycle continues to grow, with the Mutt Razorback being the latest machine to whet the 125cc appetite.

The new machine is a sleek looking machine, with obvious nods to oval dirt track racers from across the pond with its flat-track inspired styling and geometry.

It’s powered by a Chinese-built, air-cooled single-cylinder engine, that produces around 12bhp and 10Nm (7.4 lb-ft) of torque. The numbers might not be the maximum 15bhp allowed by law for a learner legal machine, although it should mean the Mutt Razorback is good for 70mph stints on the dual carriageway.

Keeping with flat-track styling, the front forks are slinky looking USD items, grasping an 18” spoked front wheel. Braking is taken care of by a two-piston sliding calliper at the front and a single-piston unit at the rear.

The Mutt Razorback comes in two flavours, the red bike, as seen above, featuring gloss finishes, gold forks, and flat-track style tyres, and the matt black machine, featuring blacked-out forks and more knobble, off-road inspired tyres.

Pricing for the new machine is equally attractive, with the little Razorback coming in at a pocket money-friendly £3,495.
