Matt BENNY’S.LTD.×JAPAN GT-SR 250 (5MT)[Review]There is no need to be lost – webCG

A unique street bike from the UK

Anyway, it’s best to buy a model that you like! There are various points that I like, but first of all, I …… 90% of the appearance (according to my own research). So, how about the Matt Benny’s Limited × Japan GT-SR 250 with a nice yellow tank?

Matt Motorcycles is a new brand established in 2013 in Birmingham, England by Benny Thomas, who made a name for himself with vintage motorcycle customs. In the Japan market, which began sales in 2019, there are already models that are more than enough for both hands. The nostalgic retro style and the cool appearance that makes you feel the wind of the street are common to the lineup. A 250cc single-cylinder model is the main model, but a 125cc version is also available. It is a complete custom imported from overseas and features a reasonable price from the 700,000 yen range. The Benny’s Limited, which we will cover in this article, comes with a price tag of 766,700 yen.

In Japan, where there are many serious users, full custom is still “cut and stretched yakuza specifications” (excuse me!). But Matt Motorcycles is aiming for a solid business in small quantities with a British spice. Specifically, while making good use of the basic structure of “air-cooled single-cylinder + 5-speed MT” mounted on a simple steel tube frame, the steering wheel, tank, muffler, seat, wheels, headlamps, indicators (turn signals), and other parts are tastefully combined to release more and more novel models. In short, it’s like a select shop called Mat with a dedicated coordinator stationed there.

An innocent person like myself would be confronted with Matt’s lineup and say, “I can’t memorize the model names! I feel a sense of professional crisis, but the company’s main target, highly sensitive puns, should reach out when a motorcycle that is “scared” (a dead word) appears among the newcomers who are being rolled out one after another.


The Matt Benny’s Limited × Japan GT-SR 250 was unveiled on January 6, 2025. It is a special model limited to 20 units prepared exclusively for fans in Japan.

Western luxury brands appeal to consumers in Greater China with Year of the Snake limited edition products – Bloomberg

In Greater China, the Year of the Snake begins on January 29 during the Lunar New Year. The Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac has traditionally symbolized prosperity, vitality, rebirth, wisdom, and introspection. In particular, 2025 will be the first time since 1965 that the Otomi will be the first Otomi, and it is said to bring a sense of mystery and a wealth of creativity.

To celebrate the Spring Festival, people wear red clothes and exchange gifts. New Year’s balls in Greater China are usually given in red envelopes called “hongbao”, but luxury brands are more elaborate and appealing to consumers.

Fashion brands have launched campaigns using carefully selected capsule products and short films. Loewe, Louis XIII, Creed and Montblanc have a number of exclusive Lunar New Year gifts for luxury-minded consumers.
