There were quite a few such chinese bikes on display at the annual NEC bike show last November; there can be little doubt that they are moving into the UK/Europe market.

And is reputed to be coming to the UK in the near future.
Dealerships for the Mash are in place in the UK, as they are for other Chinese brands (yes, the Mash is manuf in China and reputed to be of French design).
The "basic" 400cc Mash has been on sale in the UK for some time and it has an asking price of around 3800 UK pounds which seriously undercuts the price of the Yamaha SR 400 which it closely resembles. Second hand ones, of that model, are appearing on the UK market with the "normal" high rate of depreciation for the first purchaser.
A Mash dealer told me that the engine is based on the 500cc Honda single cyl; the " XBR" engine IIRC.
