Many riders love the charm of vintage motorcycles. But, most aren’t mechanically inclined to deal with the inevitable age-related issues. For those folks, France’s Mash Motors captured the essence of Yamaha’s legendary XT 500 dual-sport with its modern X-Ride 650 Classic.
While the copycat unapologetically lifted iconic elements from Team Blue’s celebrated off-roader, many critics also drew parallels to Ducati’s popular Scrambler platform due to the X-Ride Classic’s 17-inch wheelset. Now, Mash is bringing the retro-styled thumper even closer to the source material with the X-Ride 650 Trail.
