Positioned in Mash's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Mash Cafe Racer 250 Black Edition relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20 HP (14.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Cafe Racer 250 Black Edition measures 130 kg (287 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.5 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
