    Jawa, Yezdi Motorcycles Now Under Rs 2 Lakh – Savings Up To Rs 17k

    by

    New Yezdi RoadsterClassic Legends, the company behind the revival of Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles in India, has announced revised pricing across its portfolio, bringing most of its models under the Rs 2 lakh mark (ex-showroom). The move comes in response to the recent GST 2.0 reforms, which reduced the tax rate on motorcycles below 350cc from 28% to 18%.
    This reduction directly benefits the Jawa and Yezdi range, powered by 293cc and 334cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 engines. The 334cc unit produces 29 PS of power and 30 Nm of torque, making it one of the stronger performers in the segment. With the GST cuts fully passed on to customers, models such as the Yezdi Adventure, Roadster, Scrambler and Jawa 42 Bobber have become more accessible to young riders looking for an entry into the performance-classic segment.
    Jawa Prices Post GST Reform
    Policy Shift Helps Restore Icons
    Decades ago, Jawa and Yezdi disappeared from the Indian market following a policy-driven ban on two-stroke motorcycles. Classic Legends says that another policy decision — this time in the form of GST rationalisation — is helping revive their relevance. The company believes that by making mid-capacity motorcycles more affordable, the reforms could energise India’s motorcycling culture.
    Co-founder of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles, Anupam Thareja, said “The government’s bold and timely GST reforms will bring a tectonic shift for the greater good, echoing the historic transition from 2-stroke to 4-stroke engines. Classic Legends welcomes the GST rationalisation, especially the reduced rate of 18 percent for under-350cc motorcycles, which covers our 293cc and 334cc Jawa and Yezdi performance classics.”
    Yezdi Prices Post GST Reform
    “While it raises the tax burden for higher cc motorcycles such as our 652cc BSA Gold Star, we accept it as the hallmark of progressive taxation. The trade-off makes mid-segment bikes accessible to a larger rider community — a win for India’s motorcycling culture. We thank the Hon’ble Finance Minister for the fresh impetus for demand that will energise the economy amid a slowdown and global tariff wars. Decades ago, our brands faded due to a policy shift; today, policy foresight is helping restore their legendary stature. We will pass on 100% of the GST benefit to our customers. Coinciding with the festive season, we are telling young Indians who aspire to own a true iconic performance motorcycle: Your time is now”
    Lower Ownership Costs
    Beyond the upfront price cuts, Classic Legends is also extending the benefits of the GST reduction to after-sales components, which is expected to lower the cost of ownership. All motorcycles are supported by the Jawa Yezdi BSA Ownership Assurance Programme, which offers a 4-year/50,000 km standard warranty, optional extended coverage of up to six years, one year of roadside assistance, and maintenance plans. The company’s sales and service network has now expanded to more than 450 touchpoints across India, ensuring wider accessibility for customers.
    Festive Boost
    With these GST-led price revisions set to take effect just ahead of the festive season, Classic Legends expects to see strong demand from younger buyers aspiring to own a heritage motorcycle. The company has positioned Jawa and Yezdi as high-fashion retro machines, combining vintage-inspired design with modern engineering and technology tailored for Indian roads. By passing on 100% of the GST benefit, Classic Legends has signalled its intent to stay competitive in India’s expanding mid-capacity motorcycle segment while reinforcing the legacy appeal of its iconic brands.

      Anand Mahindra, Anupam Thareja and Boman Rustomji Irani graced the stage for the launch of new 2025 Yezdi Roadster. This new iteration of Roadster boasts a revised styling that is likely to work well with the brand’s identity of being a retro offering, but bringing it in line to the modern times. Then we have the revised Alpha 2 engine.

      2025 Yezdi Roadster Colours
      Yezdi fanatics can spot the new design differences that the company has implemented in the new Roadster. For starters, we can see a new headlight cowl that is integrated into the design, there are new LED turn indicators that are much sleeker than the circular ones offered with its predecessor. Handlebar is quite wide, offering a lot of leverage and the bar-end mirrors do look good.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster Launched
      At the rear, we can see a new chopped-off fender that now has a reflector in the place of rear tail light, which is now integrated into the new tyre hugger. The same sleek rear turn indicators lend a modern appeal to this motorcycle. The twin exhaust design still continues and it still sounds like a liquid-cooled engine does, but with some snarl and base.
      Specs & Features
      Wheelbase is 1,440 mm long and the seat height is 795 mm, which is rather accessible across most riders. We get a 320 mm front disc and 240 mm rear disc along with Brembo callipers and Continental dual channel ABS. Yezdi is also offering 6 factory-custom kits with 2025 Roadster and there are around 50+ customisation options.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster
      Powering the motorcycle is the Alpha 2 engine, which is a 334cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V/cyl engine that is mated to a slip and assist clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Performance metrics include 29 PS of peak power and 30 Nm of peak torque. Then there is a 4 year or 50,000 km standard warranty which can be extended to 6 years. The fuel tank is 12.5L.
      Statement from Classic Legends
      “The Yezdi Roadster is a wolf in wolf’s clothing. The memories of a Yezdi rumbling through Indian roads and hearts never really went away. The cool dads and lads rode on real roads, on a real bike and created real stories. Their first job, first fall, first love was all on a Yezdi. Yezdi has been a way of life, an attitude, a thought, since inception, born as a challenger in a monopolistic market.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster
      Renegades who dared to carve their own path made Yezdi their cultural emblem,” said Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles. “The new Roadster is ‘Born Out of Line’ to become the call of the wolf to all the new-age wildcards. With a bold design, cutting-edge performance, and touring-ready engineering, the Yezdi Roadster is a war cry for those who chart their own course, your tribe is calling.” More

      2025 Yezdi Roadster Spied Ahead Of 12th Aug Launch – New Details

      by

      2025 Yezdi Roadster Spied Ahead Of LaunchWhile receiving multiple design updates, the new Yezdi Roadster will remain mechanically unchanged for the most part
      Following the launch of 2025 Yezdi Adventure, it’s now the turn of Yezdi Roadster to receive new updates. The 2025 version is scheduled to debut on 12th August. Ahead of that, test mule spy shots reveal some interesting details about the potential changes. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster – Key changes
      Primary design changes are with tail lamp and turn indicators been moved up, integrated with the rear section of the seat assembly. Rear fender has been chopped off, likely to give the motorcycle a more compact and agile-looking profile. This necessitates the registration number plate to be mounted on the swingarm.
      While the test vehicle does not have a pillion backrest, it could be offered as an accessory. In the spy shot, it also appears that the pillion seat is smaller in size. This change could be aimed at achieving a cruiser-like look and feel. There can be other updates as well, but these are not evident since the image only captures the rear section.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster continues with the dual exhaust setup and round rear-view mirrors. Tail lamp and turn indicators with the current model have a round shape. Since the 2025 Yezdi Roadster gets sharper indicators at the rear, a similar treatment can be expected at the front as well.
      Current Yezdi Roadster
      Other retro features will be carried forward such as the round headlamp and circular instrument dial. The features list of Yezdi Roadster varies based on the variant. For example, the Chrome variants see liberal use of metallic finish on the rear-view mirrors, engine, exhaust and rear suspension.
      In comparison, the Dark and dual-tone variants have these parts in a blacked-out finish. While the Yezdi Roadster already offers ample colour options, its visuals could be further enhanced with the addition of bold new graphics. A similar approach was seen with select variants of the 2025 Yezdi Adventure.
      Specs, performance
      There are unlikely to be any major changes to the hardware. Powering the bike is a 334 cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC engine. It generates 29 PS and 29.40 Nm of peak torque and is paired with a constant mesh, 6-speed gearbox. Similar to the recently launched 2025 Yezdi Adventure, the engine of the updated Roadster can see optimizations to its gear ratios and fuel mapping. Primary objective would be to achieve a smoother ride experience and potentially some gains in fuel efficiency.
      Current Yezdi Roadster Colour Options
      Yezdi Roadster uses a double cradle frame, with 41 mm telescopic front forks. At the rear, the bike has gas-filled twin shock absorbers with 5-step adjustable preload. Wheel setup is 18-inch front and 17-inch rear, wrapped in 100/90 and 130/80 tubeless tyres, respectively. Braking setup comprises 320 mm and 240 discs at front and rear, with dual-channel ABS. The bike has a seat height of 790 mm, useful for enhanced control and agile manoeuvres.
      2025 Yezdi Adventure could see a slight bump in its pricing. The current model is available at a starting price of Rs 2.11 lakh. Updated Yezdi Roadster will continue to rival the likes of Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Honda H’ness CB350. Yezdi will also be launching the 2025 Yezdi Scrambler on 12th August.

      by

      2025 Yezdi Adventure LaunchWhile the updated Yezdi Adventure retains the 334cc engine, users can expect smoother performance with optimized gear ratios and enhanced fuel mapping
      After the comprehensive mechanical updates introduced with the Yezdi Adventure last year, the 2025 model now gets a fresh set of enhancements. It includes both visual and functional improvements, which help to enhance the bike’s capabilities against rival offerings. Let’s check out the details.
      2025 Yezdi Adventure Launch – What’s new?
      One of the key changes is the distinctive, first-in-segment twin-LED headlight setup. This design approach lends a playful touch to the bike’s visual aesthetics. It is also functionally relevant, ensuring improved visibility with a wider beam. The twin LED headlamp setup has a single projector LED lamp on the left and a dual-chamber reflector-based LED light on the right side. A similar arrangement, featuring twin LED lights, can be seen for the tail lamps as well.
      Other changes include a redesigned raised front beak, featuring a new trim in contrasting shade on the tip. Front and rear fenders have been updated as well. The bike gets a new rear rack and an adjustable windscreen. Users can now choose from six new colour options that include three matte and three gloss shades.
      2025 Yezdi Adventure Twin Head Light Design
      Performance-oriented updates include traction control and three ABS modes of Road, Rain and Off-road. 2025 Yezdi Adventure continues with the 334cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC engine that generates 29.6 hp and 29.56 Nm of torque. It is paired with a constant mesh, 6-speed gearbox. Yezdi claims that the engine has undergone some tweaks with the goal to optimize gear ratios and fuel mapping. These changes will allow for a smoother ride experience.
      Specs
      Other hardware and specs are largely the same as earlier. Yezdi Adventure utilizes a double cradle frame, integrated with 41 mm telescopic front forks and monoshock absorber with linkage and 7-step adjustable preload. The bike has 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, wrapped in 90/90 front and 130/80 rear tyres. Braking setup comprises 320 mm and 240 mm discs at front and rear, integrated with dual-channel ABS.
      Old Model Continues To Be On Sale
      A total of six colour options are available with the 2025 Yezdi Adventure, which is sold as ‘Twin Head Light’ variant. The base Forest Green variant is available at a starting price of Rs 2.15 lakh. The Ocean Blue and Desert Khaki colour variants are priced at Rs 2.18 lakh. The Tornado Black THL is available at Rs 2.22 lakh. The Glacier White THL and Wolf Grey THL are priced at Rs 2.27 lakh.
      2025 Yezdi Adventure
      Yezdi will continue to sell the earlier model, which comes with a single headlight setup and is conveniently called ‘Single Head Light’ varint. Colour options include Tornado Black and Magnite Maroon (both priced at Rs 2.18 lakh), Wolf Grey (Rs 2.21 lakh) and Glacier White (Rs 2.25 lakh). Interestingly, older model is more expensive than the newer model.
      In terms of competition, the Yezdi Adventure takes on rivals such as Hero Xpulse 210 and KTM 250 Adventure. Xpulse 210 is the most affordable in this group, available at Rs 1.86 lakh. KTM 250 Adventure comes with a price tag of Rs 2.60 lakh. More

      2025 Yezdi Adventure Launch On 15th May – New Design, Colours

      by

      Yezdi Adventure (Current model for reference)Last year, Yezdi Adventure received extensive mechanical updates including a recently reworked Alpha2 engine and switchable ABS modes
      In the fast-growing adventure-tourer segment, the Yezdi Adventure has emerged as one of the popular options. The bike is preferred for its robust performance, well-rounded features and accessible price point. To make it even better, Yezdi will introduce some more updates to the bike to be launched on May 15th, 2025.
      2025 Yezdi Adventure Launch – What to expect?
      Since the bike has already received significant performance-oriented updates last year, the focus this time around could be on visual enhancements. Some new colour options could be introduced. The bike can also benefit from sporty graphics, as seen with rival offerings. As of now, graphics and stickering are largely missing. Some may prefer this minimalist approach, but a significant percentage of users would also want a livelier profile for their bike.
      Existing Yezdi Adventure has ‘Est. 69’ lettering on the tank brace and Yezdi logo on the fuel tank. Side panels get the ‘adventure’ badging. In comparison, rivals like Hero Xpulse 210, KTM 250 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 have a more dynamic look and feel. A lot more vibrant and captivating colours and graphics have been used. Colour options for Yezdi Adventure don’t seem to align with the bike’s proven capabilities in performance.
      As of now, there are two Matte (Tornado Black, Magnite Maroon) and two Gloss (Wolf Grey, Glacier White) colour options available with Yezdi Adventure. None of these seem to match the intensity and perkiness of shades available with rival adventure bikes. Yezdi Adventure can probably deliver better results if some exciting, fun colourways are introduced.
      2024 Yezdi Adventure In Action
      Performance, specs
      Mechanicals will remain largely unchanged since the bike was already updated extensively in 2024. Power is derived from a 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that generates 29.60 PS and 29.80 Nm of torque. It is mated to a constant mesh, 6-speed gearbox.
      The bike utilizes a double cradle frame with 41 mm telescopic front forks and rear mono shock absorber with linkage and 7-step adjustable preload. Front and rear have 21-inch and 17-inch wheels, wrapped in 90/90 and 130/80 tyres, respectively. Both ends have disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.
      Pricing
      As affordable pricing is one of the key USPs, updated Yezdi Adventure may continue with the existing prices. Or, the prices could be increased only slightly. Prices vary based on the colour selected. The Tornado Black and Magnite Maroon are available at Rs 2.10 lakh and Rs 2.13 lakh, respectively. Gloss colours, Wolf Grey and Glacier White are offered at a starting price of Rs 2.16 lakh and Rs 2.20 lakh, respectively.
      2024 Yezdi Adventure
      In comparison, Hero Xpulse 210 starts at Rs 1.86 lakh. KTM 250 Adventure is available at a starting price of Rs 2.60 lakh. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 has plentiful colour choices, with prices of these variants in the range of Rs 2.85 lakh to Rs 2.98 lakh. More

      Classic Legends is making the battle against Royal Enfield more fierce by offering improved standard warranty proposition in the 350cc to 450cc segment. This is in a bid to better rival the 350cc offerings from Royal Enfield along with Honda’s CB350 range and Triumph’s 400cc range. Classic Legends calls it a customer assurance program. Let’s take a look.
      Jawa Yezdi & BSA Bikes Improved Warranty
      The company just announced what it calls “Jawa Yezdi BSA Ownership Assurance Program”. With these improved warranty offerings, the company aims to position itself as the segment disruptor in terms of ownership experience. This is a comprehensive ownership program and offers better standard and extended warranty propositions.
      Classic Legends is offering a 4-year / 50,000 km standard warranty package (whichever is early) with Jawa Yezdi & BSA motorcycles. The warranty can also be extended up to 6 years with optional packages. These come from the company’s deep trust in deriving price-performance from engineering excellence and manufacturing precision.
      The updated warranty under this Ownership Assurance Program is part of the company’s Legacy In Motion initiative which aims at offering extraordinary ownership experiences. The 2-year Anytime Warranty (within 6 years total), one year complimentary Roadside Assistance (extendable up to 8 years) and 5-year comprehensive AMC package are other notable elements.
      Jawa Yezdi and BSA Motorcycles New Warranty Plans
      Classic Legends new programme is applicable to new purchases. Also, existing Jawa Yezdi & BSA owners can also jump into the new extended warranty plans after their standard warranty expires. Complimentary pickup and drop, protection from labour price fluctuations and transferable warranty coverage are other notable elements.
      Statement from Classic Legends
      “As pioneers who have consistently challenged industry norms, our engineering capabilities have given us tremendous conviction in our products,” said Anupam Thareja, co-founder of Classic Legends. “We’re now passing this assurance directly to our customers through the most comprehensive motorcycling assurance in the segment.
      Every motorcycle we create carries the soul of a classic but beats with the heart of a modern machine—from BSA’s racing heritage that began on British circuits to Jawa’s neo-classic revolution and Yezdi’s adventure-ready spirit. Our motorcycles are engineered with precision and built with passion—that’s why we can stand behind them with such confidence, offering peace of mind that’s as timeless as our designs but as forward-thinking as our technology.”

      2024 Yezdi Adventure Spied, Teased Officially, Launching Alongside Thar Roxx

      by

      2024 Yezdi Adventure SpiedThe new 2024 Yezdi Adventure will pack a new engine which the company has worked on to improve in NVH and mileage (fuel efficiency)Mahindra-owned Classic Legends is updating one of their popular motorcycle for the year 2024. We are talking about Yezdi Adventure lifestyle off-roading motorcycle. While Yezdi has teased the same officially, we have managed to get our hands on spy shots of test mules and major scoops about 2024 Yezdi Adventure.2024 Yezdi Adventure SpiedAdventure motorcycling genre has been getting more and more popular in the country. We already have established names like Hero Xpulse and Royal Enfield Himalayan along with Yezdi Adventure. Royal Enfield and Hero MotoCorp have been eating the cake, while Yezdi had a lot of work to do to better the Adventure.2024 Yezdi Adventure TesersThat’s exactly what Yezdi has done and is coming up with an update to its adventure motorcycle. Teased officially, Yezdi is building a lot of hype and suspense around its upcoming launch. The company is offering a makeover to better position Adventure against Himalayan 450.“Somebody got a makeover”, Yezdi mentioned in its teaser, captioned “New engine, same wild spirit”. Second teaser mentioned “The perfect storm is brewing” with the caption “For some, the call is a gentle nudge, for others, it’s a thunderous roar. But no matter its form, the call of adventure is universal”.2024 Yezdi Adventure SpiedThere was a third teaser too, which revolved around 2024 Yezdi Roadster, which is expected to be launched alongside 2024 Yezdi Adventure. According to Rushlane’s sources, the launch will happen on August 15th alongside Mahindra Thar Roxx.Major scoops revealed!Now, we have to shift the focus from teasers towards the test mule spy shots we have at hand and the scoops we got from our source, Yash Chikte. From the spy shots, we can see a slightly redesigned fuel tank brace which has a minimal appeal than what Yezdi used to offer before with Adventure.2024 Yezdi Adventure New TankThere is a new insert on 2024 Yezdi Adventure with Est 69 sticker, which we found to be very nice (pun intended). The test mules in spy shots have camouflage on them, but the teasers show a new maroon and black dual-tone combination with white pin striping. On the engine case, we can see CH-7 235, which might not mean anything.What we were more interested in was the supposedly “new engine”. Yezdi mentions this is a new engine and our source claims that this is a 450cc or 500cc engine that Classic Legends is launching alongside Mahindra Thar Roxx on August 15th. He further mentioned that Classic Legends has thoroughly worked on NVH and fuel efficiency of the new engine.2024 Yezdi Adventure New EngineThe same event should also witness the launch of 2024 Yezdi Roadster and the grand debut of BSA Goldstar 650 in Indian market. If the engine displacement is really between 450cc and 500cc, it would be a fitting alternative to Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and upcoming Hero Xpulse 440.2024 Yezdi Adventure Instrumentation More

      Yezdi Dealer Event Scoops – Roadking, Electric Motorcycle, New Engines (250cc, 500cc), BSA Launch

      by

      Yezdi Dealer Event ScoopsUnlike the two Roadking Concepts showcased, Yezdi Streetfighter 334 and Adventure Rally Pro or AdvenX will launch very soonIn a recent dealer meeting, Mahindra & Mahindra owned Classic Legends brand shared details about current operations along with future roadmap. Classic Legends is taking a holistic approach to navigate the Indian premium neo-retro classic motorcycle segment. The plan is to be better than ever and rival the likes of Royal Enfield and Honda.Yezdi Dealer Event ScoopsThere is so much going on at Classic Legends camp, it is quite a task to unfurl everything that the company is lining up. We recently covered four Yezdi motorcycles displayed on the stage. These include two unnamed motorcycles along with Streetfighter 334 and Adventure Rally Pro or AdvenX. These fall under the umbrella of Yezdi Customs, as revealed by the sticker on Adventure Rally Pro’s fuel tank.Beyond these, there are a ton of developments at Classic Legends company. Sources tell us that work is ongoing for 4 new engines, Roadking revival, company’s upcoming electric vehicles, BSA debut with Goldstar 650, immediate launches, future launches and more.Legendary Roadking monickerYezdi showcased the Roadking concept on the stage with two powertrains. Of the four bikes showcased on stage, the first two motorcycles are un-named and their side body panels had a new Yezdi logo with a “Y”. This logo has a “Legendary Yezdi” lettering along with two horizontal stripes, like wings.Yezdi Roadking Concept 334ccThese two motorcycles are expected to bear the Roadking moniker and a new identity, as seen with the new logo. Currently, Classic Legends doesn’t possess the Roadking trademark, nor does Boman Rustom Irani. But the company is working on reviving the Roadking name. Where design is concerned, both these concepts pay homage to the icon, Yezdi Roadking, and flaunts similar colour schemes as well.4 new engines under developmentIn an earlier post, we mentioned that there seems to be a bigger engine with the first Roadking motorcycle along with a fatter exhaust. It is true. While the red Roadking dons the same 334cc engine as current Yezdi motorcycles, other Roadking motorcycle has a bigger 500cc engine and a larger exhaust canister.Multi-cylinder engines are not on the cards yet, but this 500cc single-cylinder unit is one of the four new engines under development and was displayed for the first time, with launch slated in 2025. Speculations suggest around 40 bhp and 40 Nm, pitting it against the upcoming Sherpa 450 derived Royal Enfield offerings, Triumph 400 and Hero-Harley 440cc offerings.Yezdi Roadking Concept 500ccThere is a new 250cc engine under development spawning a range of affordable products. This engine is speculated to boast most of the hardware from current 334cc engine like a DOHC 4V head, liquid cooling and 6-speed gearbox and still eke out more performance than any 350cc Royal Enfield. There is less information about the remaining two engines, but both of them are “higher cc” engines.BSA brand debut, Goldstar 650 launchApart from Jawa and Yezdi, BSA brand also falls under Classic Legends’ umbrella.
