MASH Seventy Five

Not sure about the British flag on the side panels, but my local dealer has started selling these, and I kind of like them :shock:

I guess they're Chinese. The only info I can find is from the French importer:

They also do the "Seventy" model - 125cc Bonneville anyone?!

Stuff in Europe is normally more expensive than in the UK (higher VAT rates etc.). The Seventy Five is at my local dealer for 1899€, which is £1600 give or take. If it was sold in the UK, it would normally be a little less than that.

If you're on FB, you can see the dealer's pics here:

Don't Van Vans all have balloon tyres? I prefer this with proper road wheels.

a vanvan has small but wide wheels. they are also known as a RV125. they were actually first introduced in the 1970's and had a 2 stroke engine. i remember my father was going to buy one but got a 1972 TS125 instead
they were originally made as a sand bike

The modern VanVan has wide tyres but decent size wheels, I bought a brand new one when 57 plate came out, many times I wish I hadn't sold it.... :roll:

I have had a soft spot for the RV ever since my parents rented a 50cc version on a holiday in Greece as a kid. I also rather like the Van Van, although I can't really see the resemblance to either of the bikes I originally posted ;)

I like the look of the VV's and really like the look of the new Honda MSX125's. But they both appear too short.
The MSX almost child size IMO. But with an adult price tag.
