Chinese learn quickly. The article describes the reason for the fold-up. Chinese? Mash sounds rather British. And is actually French…

Colorful: tank in two-tone paint with a fine logo (not painted over) and a chic knee cushion.

The speedometer with a white background and integrated small gear indicator goes up to 100 miles. But the motorcycle only up to 100 km / h.
A tachometer is not on board.

The rear suspension struts are softly tuned for comfort. Chinese Kingstone tires offer little grip like feedback.

At first and second glance, the “Mashinchen” looks very well mannered. However, at a price of 2390 euros, you have to accept simple stamped sheet metal parts, cheap hardware store screws, the clumsy brake lever and unpainted stickers.

The chic two-tone paintwork (“Gulf blue-white” – but looks more like green) on the 14-liter tank with traditional knee bolsters looks neat. British models cited the chrome exhaust system of the 125 kilogram 125cc.

The front brake line is better laid, the indicators can no longer hang with the now chrome-plated housing. In the meantime, the carburetor from another manufacturer is being used (Mikuni replica) and a modified ignition coil and charge regulator are being installed.

In fact, Mash has the Seventy Five built in China. And according to the importer, the product quality is constantly being improved. What is this redesigned 125cc now – flirtatious or preppy?

Mash Seventy Five in the driving report

Retro dwarf from the Far East

France Equipment has the Mash Motos manufactured in China. In the last test, the Mash Seventy Five came to a rather sobering result in terms of workmanship. But according to the importer, the product quality is continuously being improved.

It was not until 1960 that Japanese motorcycles began their global triumph. Today, Korean cars and scooters from Taiwan are well established. Is history now being repeated with motorcycles from China’s million dollar market? The French company France Equipment has their mash motos manufactured there. A test of the petite retro bike M.ash Seventy Five in MOTORRAD 5/2015 came to a rather sobering result in terms of workmanship of this 125cc. But according to the importer, the product quality is continuously being improved.

Mash Seventy Five in the driving report
Retro dwarf from the Far East

Seventy Five (“Gulf Blue-White” – but looks more like green) on the 14-liter tank with traditional knee pads. British models cited the chrome exhaust system of the 125 kilogram 125cc.

Suitable, but rustic

At first and second glance, the Mash Seventy Five looks very well mannered. However, at a price of 2390 euros, you have to accept simple stamped sheet metal parts, cheap hardware store screws, the clumsy brake lever and unpainted stickers. The weld seams on the frame and the weld points on the front mudguard bracket are suitable, but rustic. The air-cooled two-valve single-cylinder is reminiscent of older Suzuki engines. It starts work spontaneously with the electric starter, but it takes a few seconds to pick up the gas properly.

Motorchen vibrates heartily to hearty

A nominal 11.6 HP do not tear up trees; the speedometer needle only scratches the “100” mark downhill. Uphill, trucks are serious opponents for the Mash Seventy Five. Really retro, this performance. At the top, the motor vibrates heartily to robust. A tachometer is missing from the driving and saving cockpit. After all, a digital display shows which of the only five gears is present. When reaching for the individual disc brake, the important upside-down fork twists. The rear suspension struts are softly tuned for comfort.

Chinese Kingstone tires offer little grip like feedback. With the same, tame 125cc engine, Mash offers a cool cafe racer with clip-on handlebars and a hump seat, as well as a trendy scrambler with a raised exhaust and an 18-inch front wheel. Can be viewed live at over 80 mash dealers across Germany or at www.moto-mash.de.

Technical specifications

Compared to other 125 cc, the Mash Seventy Five’s performance is also rather retro: 12 hp at 8750 rpm is the maximum of the "Mashinchens".
