- Café Racer Only designs the Mash FR 750 in the look of the Arai Concept X helmet
- Price of the series model drops from €6,999 to €6,399 (approx. $6,700)
- 103 units sold in France in the first full year of sales in 2025
With the FR 750, the Mash brand made a significant change of course at the end of 2024. For a long time, the name was primarily associated with smaller displacement classes in vintage style, but French importer Sima decided to realign the brand with more modern and powerful models. The collaboration with Chinese manufacturer Jedi Motor forms the basis for a new generation of motorcycles, which includes the FR 750, the K750 sports version, and the GT750 touring machine.
Two-cylinder with 730 cc and A2-compatible power
The Mash FR 750 is based on the platform of a roadster from Jedi Motor and is powered by a two-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 730 cc. The power output is 74.6 hp (approx. 54.9 kW), although the motorcycle can also be throttled to 47.5 hp (approx. 35 kW), which is permitted for the A2 driver’s license. The chassis is described as solid, although the suspension is said to be rather stiff. Mash relies on brand-name components for the equipment: The suspension elements are from KYB, the brake system from Brembo, and the ABS system is supplied by Bosch.
Price reduction and sluggish sales as background
When it was launched at the end of 2024, the price of the FR 750 was €6,999. It has since been reduced to €6,399 (approx. $6,700) in France. This still includes a three-year warranty on parts and labor. In the first full year of sales until the end of 2025, 103 units found buyers in France. The price adjustment should also be seen as a measure to strengthen the model’s competitiveness and bring it more into the focus of potential customers.
Café Racer Only interprets the Arai Concept X on two wheels
To demonstrate the FR 750’s potential for customization, Mash commissioned customizer Café Racer Only to redesign it. Founder Eric Barse was inspired by the Arai Concept X full-face helmet in Temu Blue. The retro lines of the helmet set the design direction, although the aim was not to create an exact copy, but rather a free interpretation of the design codes.
Peinture F2 was responsible for the paintwork. The result is a three-color design with sporty stripes that emphasize the lines and proportions of the roadster. The overall look is complemented by red handlebars with gold bar ends, stylized 750 lettering on the radiator covers, and a custom-made seat by Sellerie Briant. The preparation follows the concept of a street tracker and is deliberately limited to visual changes without affecting the technology or performance of the motorcycle.
No production model planned
The version designed by Café Racer Only will not be included in Mash’s range as a limited edition or additional color variant. The FR 750 will continue to be available in red and white as part of the regular range. The main purpose of the customization is to show that the roadster is well suited as a basis for individual conversions.
What does that mean for me as a motorcyclist?
The price reduction of the Mash FR 750 to €6,399 makes the roadster one of the most affordable mid-range naked bikes with brand-name components such as KYB suspension, Brembo brakes, and Bosch ABS. Anyone with an A2 driver’s license can ride the bike in restricted mode and later unlock the full 74.6 hp without having to buy a new motorcycle. The Café Racer Only model also shows that the FR 750 is well suited as a basis for individual conversions if you don’t like the standard colors of red and white. However, you should keep in mind the modest sales figures of 103 units in France. A small dealer network or limited availability of spare parts could be an issue in the long term. If you can live with that and are looking for an inexpensive, modern entry-level to mid-range motorcycle, the FR 750 offers a solid overall package on paper.
