I'm going to have a closer look on the Mash stand. THe 125 version, is the same as the AJS Cadwell 125, and I saw somebody with one of those the other week, and the owner was really happy with it, aside from it being a little on the slow side, so, hopefully the 250 will give it a bit more poke !! ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Hmmm? It looks like just any other Chinese single cylinder 250 ie
Sinnis or Herald.
I’m not saying I don’t like it ,but I’m having enough fun with my Honley RX3 .
I personally think the Chinese need to bring out a substantially better/faster/more powerful 250 if they really want to be noticed in the 250 market.
As said before it’s also about aftersale support of the product. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Yes it's the same, Shineray X5, before WK started selling it over here, it was already for sale in the rest of Europe as the Mash Adventurer. The X5 seems to be pretty well liked from most of the reviews it gets, and real life experiences. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Must do a write-up on my downsizing journey which still makes me laugh and cry in equal measure but I did finally make it. |
I would be genuinely interested as I am seriously considering doing the same. |
Here goes - Advancing years and diminishing strength eventually forces us all to look at lighter machines or to give up on bikes altogether.After a lifetime (pre crashhelmets!) of owning performance bikes I had to think small, so...........
I went for a 125 Suzuki,nice bike - big mistake.ended up on a wet motorway,stuck between two bloody great lorries,no chance of overtaking,vision obscured and nowhere to go - not nice.Change bike
Next was a 250 Kawa ninja,nice bike - big mistake,fast for a 250 but 12/13000rpm can be a little wearing,fairings made engine access difficult and radiators and water pumps are for cars and central heating (yes,I'm a grumpy old git!).Change bike.
Next was an old Virago,nice bike - big mistake,not my style and too much spannering instead of riding.
Getting desperate,something below 150kg with enough poke to cope with allround biking.Shall I risk looking at these Chinese bikes? This Mash 400 - 150kg,lowish seat height,retro copy of bulletproof Honda xbr engine and the sporty (looking) TT40 model reminds me of the 250 Ducati mach1 that I lusted after in my youth. the Roadstar looks great for urban riding too.
Well,I went for it and almost a year later I'm more than happy,not everyone's choice I know,but suits me fine and keeps me on the saddle.
All those still on bigger faster more expensive and exotic machinery,I envy you.........I was there once.T |

See now that’s were we differ.
I’ve had my share of bigger bikes and have ridden a few ,but I don’t miss them.
I’m not scared of them, I just don’t need them.
As for being without a bike! , it’s not gonna happen.
I plumped for a couple of 250’s, and a 600.
It’s still to much and I’m not made of money so running 3 bikes is just to expensive/not realistic.
Could I live with the Honley RX3 as my only bike?
It would free up a lot of garage space.
Did you find it beneficial: in what way? Or did you just hate having to do it? |
As much as I like my Honley 250, if I had to choose between giving up the Honley, or giving up the Mash, I'm afraid the Honley would lose out everytime ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Well, it's finally come of age !! Yes, it's 3 years old, and went for it's first MOT yesterday. Passed with no advisories.
OK, well, I've now had the bike 3 years, from new, and the review I gave after about 2 years of ownership, still holds true. It gets used in all weather's, including the crappy snow/ice/slush/grit laden winter we had this year. It hasn't skipped a beat, aside from oil & filters & battery, nothing has needed fixing or replacing, well, aside from the rear rack, but that was definitely more my fault !
It's still a lovely leisurely ride, and is everything I'd have liked my Enfield 350 to have been, but wasn't. And it still gets plenty of attention, more than I would have expected !
Despite having been run all through the winter, certainly no garage queen, there are very very few signs of corrosion of any description, and it certainly hasn't crumbled to dust.
Here's a photo I took of the bike, whilst out and about on Wednesday, the day before the MOT, and it still looks good !
https://cdn.bcf.44bytes.net/files/mash400_church_quatt.jpg
As it stands, when it comes to replacing the Mash, I'd buy another new one in a heartbeat
Well, I might also look at the new Enfield 650's as well !! But, I really can't find fault with the Mash ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Fair play. Despite my tirades against Chinese bikes I'm glad yours is doing OK.
Would I have one - no. But then I'd not buy a Chinese car either.
My view is when they start developing and building their own designs rather than copying everyone else's they will start to have some pride in their bikes and we may get some continuity of standards.
But your Mash has done OK. I'd sell it now though, dissolvment is just around the corner. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

My Mash has done better than OK, no corrosion of any note, even after last winter with the snow, ice and copious amounts of roadsalt, so, not dissolved as yet.
The Chinese do make their own designs, increasingly so, also, however, obviously not this specifically, the Shineray XY400SS and equivalents are sold under various brands around the world, from Mash & Jawa in Europe to other brands in Australia, South Africa, the South American countries. Probably sold more widely than the original CB400SS it was based on
There's a facebook owners group, which for the most part seems to have very positive submissions/post from.owners of the various Mash models. ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Hi All
Just another update, still running without issues, and even managed to get a decent run out on Friday just gone ..
https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=4585512#4585512
If you're in the market for a reliable 'retro' look & feel bike, I would still highly recommend, such a gentle relaxed ride
