![]() Mutt Motorcycles started life as a custom chop shop in Birmingham, England. Mutt motorcycles hope to have some dealerships in America soon For learners there’s a 125cc version for just £3495. If you like the look of the Six Days you can find more info here.Ĭurrent Price: £4,250 + OTR. It looks like a Scrambler but can it handle off road? MoreBikes took a Six Days scrambling in early 2019 and seemed pleasantly surprised by its performance. It’s powered by a 445cc 4 valve single cylinder engine and it kicks out 27bhp so you can ride it on a European A2 licence. Where as The Royal Enfield 500 Trials took its lead from the 1950’s, The Six Days has its roots firmly planted in the late 70’s. Having said that, the frames and engines are supplied by Shineray and shipped to the SWM base in Lombardia where SWM assemble and add their own touch to them. They’ve tried to stay true to their heritage by resisting the obvious option of moving production to China and remaining in Italy. It was resurrected in 2014 by an Italian engineer together with Chinese firm Shineray. In truth, the Italian company SWM went bust way back in 1984. SWM have named their Scrambler in honour of their prowess in the International 6 Day Trials events back in the 1970’s. SWM are another company with a strong heritage in off road competition This is an expensive 125cc Scrambler when compared to others on this list with Chinese built engines but it is definitely another level up when it comes to the quality of build.Ĭurrent price: £4999 OTR – Not currently available in USA The FB Mondial motorcycles appear to use the same liquid cooled Zongshen 125cc engines used in the Aprilia but with a higher quality finish and styling to the rest of the bike. The build finish is a cut above average and I think they got the Scrambler looks pretty much nailed.įB Mondial have their bikes made by Piaggio who produce motorcycles for several Italian brands including Aprilia at their Chinese factory. I’ve added this as I got to see one in the flesh yesterday at Paul Deadman, a local dealer here on the Isle of Man. The company had been closed from 2004 but started up again in 2014 by a couple of (I assume wealthy) Italian friends. ![]() FB Mondial are an Italian manufacturer with a long history stretching back to 1929.
