The Mash is that rare thing in motorcycling; an entirely new brand. Yet the Roadstar 400 is based around 1980s technology. This bike is really about its cool retro styling – a canny mix of late 1960s British with late ’70s Japanese. Launched in Europe in October, bikes are now trickling into UK dealers.
Mash 是一个摩托车界没啥名气的新公司，是最近才出现的新品牌， 它推出的Roadstar 400 基本上是基于80年代的技术，这部车超级复古的造型基本上是 1960年英国车和70年日本车的合体，Mash Roadstar 400 在去年10月在欧洲发布，现在已经进入英国零售。

The idea, says the British importer, is for a simple bike that should be easy to ride, cheap to run and able to hit a nostalgia chord with those of a certain age, plus attract younger riders as their first step up from a 125.
英国的进口商说，简单的车应该操控简单、价格便宜、能够打动某些到了怀旧年龄段人群的心，并且能够吸引那些刚从125cc 上来年轻一代。
Engine 发动机
If the engine looks familiar, and your memory stretches back as far as 1985, that’s because it’s Honda’s old XBR unit; an air-cooled overhead-cam four-valve single with contra-rotating balance shaft. Even in the ’80s, it was a bit of a retro, powering the XBR500, which Honda hoped would be a modern equivalent to the Gold Star or Velocette, especially to misty-eyed Brits.
如果你对这部车的发动机看起来很眼熟并且思绪一下子飘回到了1985年，那是因为这部车的发动机很像本田的老XBR 发动机（空冷、单置顶凸轮轴、平衡轴），即便是在当时的80年代，XBR500 也有点复古的味道。
It didn’t quite turn out like that, but still, with those lovely alloy cooling fins and compact size, it suits the retro Roadstar to a tee.
当时本田希望它的XBR500 在和Gold Star 或者Velocette的竞争中能打动挑剔的英国人。 虽然这部车的发动机只是像XBR的发动机，但是它可爱的散热片和紧凑的外形还是和 RoadStar相当的搭。
发动机盖子被印上了MASH
Of course, it isn’t the same engine Honda dealers were trying to sell us 30 years ago. For a start, it’s not made by Honda any more, but by Shineray in China, that builds the whole bike. It’s smaller than the original, down to 398cc from 498cc, and has acquired Siemens fuel injection. To thoroughly clean the emissions up, small catalysts are hidden inside the ’60s style silencers, of which there are two, with twin pipes sprouting out of the twin-port head.
当然这部车的发动机不是本田30年前卖的老发动机，首先这部车和发动机都不是本田造，而是由中国的鑫源生产。 发动机从原来的498cc缩水到398cc，配备了西门子电喷，同时为了满足现在的排放标准，有点像60年代的双管消声器里也加上了三元催化剂。
The gearbox, as Honda intended, is a five-speeder, though this should offer enough ratios, given the single’s relaxed power delivery.
变速箱跟本田的一样，5个档位保证了足够的变速比和流畅的马力输出。
Chassis 悬挂系统
No ABS, no linked brakes, no traction control or multi-adjustable suspension… the Roadstar has a supremely simple chassis, with everything held together by a straightforward tubular steel cradle frame. At one end are non-adjustable 35mm forks, and at the other twin shocks, though they can be adjusted for pre-load (with a C-spanner – none of your remote control here).
没ABS 、没联合制动、没牵引力控制系统也没有可调式减震， Roadstar 车架是简单的高碳钢钢管焊接的摇篮式车架，前面是35mm不可调减震，后面是双弹簧减震，后减震只能用C型扳手调整预载，所有东西都不能电控。
It has to have spoked wheels of course, and the rims are chromed steel, not alloy, while the tyres are Chinese-made Kenda Cruiser S/Ts. The brakes are deliberately retro, with a 160mm drum at the rear supplementing the single 280mm front disc, though this does have a more modern two-pot caliper, because you can take this retro thing too far.
复古车必备辐条网轮和镀铬的轮圈，轮胎是中国产建大 Cruiser S/Ts，刹车那是相当的复古，160mm后鼓刹和280mm 单碟前刹，虽然前刹配备了双活塞卡钳，但你也别玩得太high
The geometry is relaxed, something underlined by the 19-inch front wheel, with an 18-inch rear. This bike is designed with B road fun in mind, but nothing more ambitious than that.
19英寸的前轮和18英寸的后轮，让这部车的骑行姿势非常的休闲。这部车的设计目标是B Road（英国公路标准），其他的别指望太高。
purchase advice购买建议
With just 29bhp, the Roadstar easily fits into the A2 licence category, but it should also fit the bill for those with a full licence looking to downsize. Why? Because it’s very easy and unintimidating to ride, to the extent that 20-somethings might want a bit more of a challenge.
仅仅29马力的RoadStar 使用A2 驾照（英标）就可以驾驶，但是因为操控简单它也适用于那些拥有高等级驾照的高级玩家，也适合20多岁想挑战一下自己的年轻玩家。
（这个挺有意思，以后仔细讲讲）
For everyone else, the Mash has an upright riding position that catches the wind at high speed but is comfy enough below 70mph. The Roadstar is small, slim and lightweight, and in fact it would make a decent commuter, assuming the finish holds up through UK winter salt and slush. All right, this bike is made in China, but it does appear to be pretty well put together, with neat welds, nice paintwork and a lot of stainless bolts.
对于对数人来说， Mash Roadstar 的比较直的坐姿风阻比较大，但是在70mph（110km/h) 的速度下还是比较舒适的。 RoadStar 轻巧灵便，十分适合在湿滑的英国冬天作为通勤车使用。 虽然是中国产，但是装配工艺还不错，焊缝整齐，漆水也不错，并且使用了很多不锈钢螺栓。
The UK importer is promising a whole list of options, including a centre stand and three different screens. And fitting in with the need to build a new brand, Mash jackets and helmets will be on offer as well.
英国进口上还提供了多种可选配件，包括大撑和三种不同的仪表屏幕；同时Mash为了打造新的品牌，带Mash标的皮夹克和头盔也会同期发售。
（配件）
The Roadstar comes at a good price – ￡3799 makes it slightly less than the cheapest Royal Enfield Bullet, and over ￡1000 shy of a Yamaha SR400. If you care about badges though, both of those have a tad more back story…
Roadstar的价格相当诱人，仅仅3799欧元的售价比Royal Enfield Bullet 稍微便宜一点，比雅马哈SR400 少1000欧元。如果不考虑品牌效应的话，可以考虑入手。
So what’s it like to ride?驾驶感受
In two words; dead easy. The Roadstar is the sort of bike you just hop on and ride without a second thought – it feels more like a 250 than a 400 (claimed weight is less than the average 250cc scooter), and it’s well balanced into the bargain.
驾驶风格轻盈，操控简单。操控压根不像400CC的车款，反而更像是一个250CC的车，不可忽略的是这辆车比大多数的250CC的踏板都要轻。
The paper power figure looks puny, but the bike’s secret weapon is that it offers a decent wodge of mid-range torque. The redline is at 10,000rpm, but that’s to be ignored, as an ignition cut-out interferes at 8500rpm and torque peaks way back at 5500.
虽然纸上的数据不出彩，但是车辆发动机在中等转速的时候能输出强大的扭力。表头到达1万转，然而并没有什么用，因为8500转就断油了，最高扭矩在5500转出现。
This is good news, because it means you can leave the bike in fifth gear much of the time, and it’ll happily pull away from 40-50mph limits without needing a down change, or lollop across country on a twisty B road. None of this is very exciting, but it’s satisfying, not to mention stress-free. If you insist, the bike will rev round to that 8500rpm cut-out, with some vibes coming through from 6000rpm onwards, and flat out it’ll manage an indicated 85mph, if you can hang on against the wind blast.
大多数时候你可以用5档巡航，高档位，低转速的时候比较容易拉起来速度。虽然这没有什么激情，但是骑乘感受上特别舒适。如果你要激情的话，6000转以上也能感受到一些，但是8500转一断油，整个垮掉。
More to the point is the relaxed 60-65mph cruise and the fact that handling is pretty good, in a relaxed sort of way. With its wide bars, the Roadstar is easy to tip into a corner, and although the forks seem soft at a standstill, they cope okay with bumpy B roads. Only the front brake disappoints by lacking power, though the importer tells us that a braided hose, soon to be added, should help matters.
总的来说，70-90公里巡航还是不错的，加上操控轻盈，出门买菜上班什么的还是挺好的。这辆车的手把宽，过弯相对容易。停车的时候感觉前悬挂很软，但是太通过颠簸路段的时候，震动过滤到还可以接受的程度。前刹车疲软，没劲。进口商说加一个皮管子就好了（谁知道呢）
Four-stroke singles have traditionally been easy on fuel, and this one is too, managing 69mpg over about 100 miles of A and B roads, including some dual carriageway. Keep off motorways, and forget trying to reach that redline, and you could be looking close to 200 miles from the 13-litre tank.
4冲的单缸一般都比较省油，这辆车也是，加满13升的油箱，大概可以跑200英里（321公里）
