@@pedrofsousasilva Every 5000 km I did a valve check. So during my normal inspection I adjusted the valve play. There was no noise and no bad running of the engine.
I bought my 250 new. I checked all the electric connections and cables. I checked the screws. I drove 12000 km before I sold the bike (I bought a RE Meteor). I have had not a single problem. My bike has had no rust because on regularly basis I took care of the bike and especially the chrome parts. I don't see major problems provided the owner did the maintenance of the bike and did not ride like an idiot.
Hi. I'm also interessted in the two fifty. How is the acceleration on this bike? Do you feel a limitation when you step on the gas? I sold my Kawasak ER-5 and want a simple and easy maintainable bike. This seems nice but I don't know if it has enough power. I don't need great top speed, but acceleration should't feel like a moped.
the Mash has slightly more power than a 125. It is definitely not as fast as your Kawa. It is more the bike for cruising around. The maintenance is easy to do on the bike.
the sitting position is relaxed. The front fork is a little bit too stiff. The seat is really hard and an upholsterer changed mine. The seat is fixed with bolts so you can not remove it without tools. I use a tank bag.
Thanks for sharing, really useful review with smiley faces for easy scoring for each element - nice 👍 Just wondering whether you have taken it off road at all? Also how are the tyres on wet roads? Thanks
It is not an off road bike, because the suspension does not have enough travel. An engine protection is also missing. But with the tyres you can do some dirt roads or farm tracks. I drive really carefully on wet roads and I always got home without problems, but there are definitely better tyres for the wet conditions.
Jolie vidéo, (et chat aussi) ;-) Je suis trés tenté, j'adore le look et la cylindrée. J'ai juste trés peur de tomber sur une mauvaise série... Bonne chance à vous
Bonsoir Thierry La mienne est un model 2014 j'ai plus de 4000 Kms et elle marche très bien! mais comme sur ma Suzuki Volty je tire une dent de plus en sortie de boite 16d à la place du 15d Cdt
bonsoir thierry je me suis achete une mash 250 de 2014 d occasion et que du plaisir, c'est sur c'est une petite bécane mais elle est attachante, j'ai plus de 7000km et aucune emmerde,j'ai juste repris et renforcé le cablage électrique ça ma pris en tout 1 herure,voila,mon experience mash
It is difficult to say. You should try it out at the dealership. Otherwise there is also a Royal Enfield Meteor. I think this motorcycle fits to taller persons.
18 hp and I suppose ca 130 kmh on the speedo. I didn't check the top speed. Anyway, it is not the right bike for fast driving. Most of the time you cruise around between 80 and 100 kmh
Merci pour l'info! De toute façon, je vais la donner chez un sellier pour une légère transformation. Jusqu'à présent, j'ai roulé 5000 km avec la moto sans problèmes.
@@animatronix5676 It will do the job as a first bike, but there is not a huge difference in performance, except the torque, between a 125 and the Mash. I had the Mash as a second motorcycle. You should consider also a BMW 310, a Honda CB300R or a Yamaha MT03, for example.
@@333zack I am a rather short person and every time I go to motorcycle dealerships they recommend low saddle bikes also because I would like to go for trips with the motorcycle. the custom category bikes seem to me the ones with the lowest saddle.

11000 km. The motorcycle is running fine, without problems. No rust. The intake valve needed an adjustment at 10000 km.
How do you knew the valve needed adjustment?
@@pedrofsousasilva Every 5000 km I did a valve check. So during my normal inspection I adjusted the valve play. There was no noise and no bad running of the engine.
Topspeed is around 120km/h with EFI version.
I have mine since two years with no big issue.
Mine goes max. 115 Km/h but the meter shows about 10 % too much ! A modern Honda 125 goes faster !
Hello, I have Two Fifty also. About 4.800 Km, no problem at all.
P.S. beautiful cat!
Thks! I will forward the message to the cat :-)
Hi Francois, how much would be the idle revs for it?? How can it be tuned ??
1300 r/min idle speed. The Suzuki TU250x has the same engine. You can find the service manual on the internet.
How far have you driven and what kind of repairs have you done? They offer me a 2016 model with 18 thousand km, what problems will arise? Thanks.

Hello is comfortable as a motorbike? does a little bit fit under the saddle? like a disc lock and a pair of thin gloves?
the sitting position is relaxed. The front fork is a little bit too stiff. The seat is really hard and an upholsterer changed mine. The seat is fixed with bolts so you can not remove it without tools. I use a tank bag.
@@333zack about the panniers, can you put a bag that has the key? are there also small bags? in terms of consumption more or less?
is the clutch soft? do the rots enter easily?
@@andreadragon9363 I think you can attach soft or leather bags. Mash also sells a rack so you can fix a topcase.
@@andreadragon9363 the clutch isf soft. I have now 9400 km and do have no rust. I take care of the chrome parts regularly.
For the race isle of man 🏁 motocycle super
aren't you a little bit too optimistic?

Hows the acceleration on this bike? Great vid btw!
not considerable faster than a watercooled 125 ccm motorcycle, but with a lot more torque.

I want to buy this bike! Is this a reliable bike?
I have this bike and Is very affidable l pay 3700 euro in 2020. Bye.
Hi, Iam around 190cm tall, 100+kg begginer, is this bike small for me? Tahanks

Very nice video, thank you for sharing
Thanks. Now 7000 km. Still no problems
Nice bike, cute cat
Thanks! The cat is pleased!
How much horsepower, and top speed?
18 hp and I suppose ca 130 kmh on the speedo. I didn't check the top speed.
Anyway, it is not the right bike for fast driving. Most of the time you cruise around between 80 and 100 kmh
Francois Bingen my 250 dirt bike has around 40 horsepower, my 160 pit bike has 16 horsepower.
70 cruising speed, 80 down hill. Only 20 hosses but feels proper meaty.
130 km/h (80 mph) on the speedometer, but in fact only 115 km/h (71 mph) on a flat road.
@@333zack 115km/h max
bonsoir une moto très agréable !
Fais gaffe que le cordon elastique laisse pas de trace permanente dans la selle comme j'ai deja vu chez un autre mash.

A legal exhaust! I don't think so. Anyway, I didn't want to change it.
