Mondial is an old Italian brand. Today it belongs to Piaggio (like so many) and they have them built in China.
Mash is indeed a Chinese bike, but those that are sold here in Europe are prepared by the French importer. They are actually quite good value for money, and quality has improved. The latest flat tracker 650 is quite nice, with a single 600 based on the Honda XL600 engine. It will be way cheaper (and lighter) than the Indian, and obviously not really a competitor. Still, it does look cool and could be a fun second bike.
Bullit is another Chinese build, and I think a bit lesser quality than the Mash. Mainly 125cc but they also have a 250cc.
Orcal is yet another Chinese made 125cc bike.
Finally, the Masai is yet more of the same. These are really cheap, with the 125 going for like $2'500 in France.
