Just like the catalogue says, the Mutt Fat Sabbath 250 ‘has a healthy low down rumble’, thanks to the flat black heat treated stainless steel exhaust and silencer. Let’s just take a second to remind ourselves, feeling good isn’t measured in seconds… Mutt 250 Exhaust
The acceleration of the Mutt 250 Motorcycle is not going to take down a Lamborghini at the traffic lights, but it is certainly quick enough for nipping in and out of traffic.įrom my highly non-scientific testing this Mutt 250 reached 60km/hr from a standstill in approximately 6 seconds. Enough grunt to enough to live a little, yet still compact enough to maneuvere in traffic. The Fat Sabbath 250 isn’t the bike to break any land-speed records, but if you are riding around town and the occasional open road it’s actually pretty ideal. At this speed it feels well balanced, and with surprisingly little vibration giving its knobbly tyres, corners well and still has a bit in reserve if you need to give it a quick squirt of speed. I haven’t found the opportunity to push the bike up to that end of the speedo just yet, but what I can tell you is that the Sabbath sits very comfortably around the 80km/hr mark. The Mutt Fat Sabbath 250 is reported to have a top speed of 129km/h. The good news is that the Mutt Fat Sabbath is LAMS approved in all states of Australia! That means the Mutt is ideally suited to those on Learner’s and Restricted licenses. In Australia, there are variations in the classification of LAMS approved bikes for each state and territory. Are Mutt 250 Motorcyles LAMS Approved?įirst of all, if you are not familiar with the term LAMS it stands for ‘Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme’. Whether it is stopped at traffic lights, parked up at a beachside carpark or sitting out the front of a cafe while refuelling my caffeine tank, the bike gets more side glances than Kim Kardashian at a heavy metal concert. It could be because of the custom blue gloss paint on my Mutt, but this bike is a real head turner and gets plenty of attention everywhere it goes. My Mutt’s also fitted with bar-end mirrors which take a little getting used to but look the part and offer surprisingly good visibility. The blacked out Renthal-style handlebars give the bike a super-comfortable ride position, and had me reminiscing of my childhood propelling BMX bikes over backyard dirt jumps. Other thoughtful features which give the Fat Sabbath the feel of a fully-customised scrambler include the hand stitched diamond-pattern black leather seat, electric start and linked ABS brakes front and back. These super-wide tyres really compliment the form and function of this bike, providing a stable and surprisingly smooth, grippy ride on the asphalt due to the tyre composition, which despite the knobbly form factor are actually intended for 80% road use, 20% offroad. Despite being a modest 250cc engine, the sound when you give the Mutt a twist of throttle through the thoughtfully designed custom pipe on the Sabbath is enough to make any bike enthusiast grin.Ĭhunky twin-duro knobbly tyres are fitted to the 18 inch satin black spoked wheels, giving the Fat Sabbath the look and feel of a bigger bike.
Mutt motorcycles zip#
When combined with the custom matte black (…of course.) chubby short exhaust pipe, this bike has enough power to zip around in traffic, with a throaty little bellow to match. Like all of Mutt’s bikes, the beating heart of the Fat Sabbath is modeled on a Suzuki GN250 single cylinder fuel-injected 4-stroke engine.
Aptly named after the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, this model is dark and moody with black bodywork and components…in fact, everything on this bike is usually black! The Mutt Fat Sabbath 250 model is a sixties-inspired 5-speed motorcycle designed with a solid and chunky feel. Read on to find out how the Mutt fared cruising ’round the coastal streets and cascading hinterland roads of Queensland’s Gold Coast. Having recently acquired my restricted (RE) motorcycle license, I was itching to get my hands on this one-of-a-kind custom blue Mutt Fat Sabbath 250.
