Built around Mash's allround motorcycle platform, the 2019 Mash Cafe Racer 400 relies on a 397 cc (24.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 27 HP (19.7 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 30 Nm (22.1 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 68 HP per liter, 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 400 measures 156 kg (344 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
