Makina Stalion 250cc, ....bit underpowered though otherwise almost identical look. 

[Bilgemaster]

That's not the worst looking bike I've ever seen. Unless I'm mistaken, a whole range of their bikes from 50cc singles to 650cc twins are sold in Europe with the "Mash" nameplate: http://www.mash-motors.fr/en/

Here in the States a proposed vehicle named a "Mash" is something very different--some sort of hot rod 3-wheeled cross between a Ford Model A and a V-Twin Harley: https://mashmotorco.com/. Apparently they're taking orders...

[AzCal Retred]

Mash - looks potentially fun. The website shows one parked on a city street with a small white rock preventing it from rolling away, so I assume that means more development time is needed. Their slogan "LIKE NOTHING YOU’VE DRIVEN BEFORE" seems a bit ambivalent.

Another nascent vehicle - Elio - the three wheel car that's been "coming next year" for a while now.
https://www.eliomotors.com/

Slogan for three wheel vehicles in general - "Tumbling like a football has never been such fun!"

The Elio looks like a less fun version of the pre-war Morgan JAP or Matchless vee twin engine 3 wheeler.

It's supposed to be a fuel sipping commuter, but has never made the jump to actual production. You're always welcome to put down a deposit though.

I am amazed that there isn't a Kit Car version, maybe using a Mitsubishi Mirage or other lo-buck front wheel drive powerplant. A do-it-yourself 60 MPG Electra Glide with A/C & rain protection, that would be an improvement!

That 250cc Mash is similar to the CSC SG250:

[Adrian II]

Is that still a carburetor on the Mash 250? Almost tempted to see if I can get one! 

A.

[AzCal Retred]

The SG250 is available in the USA & is carbureted; 5 speed, 17 HP.

The Mash seems to have 2 variants:
The "Black 7" and "250"
it's currently a 5 speed, 17 HP, EFI machine; older versions were carbureted.

[Arschloch]

The Mash 650 single 4 valve SOHC with some 40hp @ 6000rpm has something to it too. Shouldn't take too much work to make the RE650 owners cry.

This is the first I've heard of Mash, but they look interesting. Is there anyone here that's ever ridden one?

Reminds me of the old XT/TT 500 Yamaha, I'll bet that thing goes like stink. I'd love to try one.

[Arschloch]

Or the flat track inspired Mash 650. Yup it's got something, at 5000€ it definitely competitive.

That engine sure looks like a Rotax 500 single to me.

Mash are a French concern – and yes, they’re named after the TV show of the '70s/'80s. In business for a decade, their bikes are actually built by Shineray, a huge Chinese company that makes a very comfortable living from building machines based around existing designs.

For the Mash X-Ride 650 Classic this means the single-cylinder engine that used to power Honda’s legendary NX650 Dominator. There’s more connection to old-school 'giant trailies' too, as there’s an unmistakable and completely intentional hint of Yamaha XT500 to the retro bike’s look. If you still pine for the time of dirt-based thumpers the Mash seems like just the ticket, especially with its very modest £4999 asking.

My 535, 2 valve pushrod, only air cooled single is still faster though.
