      New Yezdi Motorcycle Showcased To Dealers – Hunter 350 Rival?

      by

      New Yezdi Motorcycle ShowcasedIf priced well under Rs. 2 lakh and weigh around 180 kg, new Yezdi motorcycle showcased to dealers could emerge as a better rival to Honda and Royal Enfield offeringsIn a rather surprising turn of events, Mahindra & Mahindra owned Classic Legends has revealed a bunch of new Jawa, Yezdi and BSA motorcycles at what looks like a dealership event. At this event the stage showed a bunch of new Jawa, Yezdi and BSA motorcycles. However, only one Yezdi motorcycle has been detailed. Let’s take a look at what’s what.New Jawa and BSA Motorcycles Showcased To DealersYezdi falls under the Classic Legends Motorcycles umbrella along with Jawa and BSA. In a recent event, the company seems to have showcased a bunch of new motorcycles to a few dealers. These have a good probability of launching in the Indian market with an intent to better rival Royal Enfield and Honda.On the stage, we saw a glimpse of a large flex cut-out including a variety of BSA motorcycles. The heading on this cut-out banner read ‘Motorcycle Dreams In Motion’ and there were multiple variations of a motorcycle that looked like variations of BSA Gold Star 650. There was a concept or rendering of a bobber-style motorcycle too, that could take on Royal Enfield Shotgun 650.There were 4 Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles on stage too. One of these motorcycles seemed like a Yezdi Roadster with a stylish dual-barrel single-sided exhaust with high-quality appeal. This exhaust sorta reminded me of MV Augusta Rush or a Ducati Supersport. This motorcycle donned twin rear shock absorbers like other Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles.New Yezdi Motorcycle ShowcasedThe centre of attraction that is generating all the buzz is a red-hot Yezdi motorcycle featured in the video posted by classic_jawa. This is unlike any other Yezdi that is currently on sale and is likely to be the lightest and the most performant offering from the iconic Yezdi house. But will it bring back Road King name? That is to be seen.We say this because this motorcycle features the same chassis and powertrain as Yezdi Scrambler. We can see a slightly angular fuel tank along with similar side body panels. Front suspension is similar RSU telescopic forks with gaiters and front and rear footpegs look identical too. Like Scrambler, there is a tail tidy and a plastic rear fender.We couldn’t spot tail lights, turn indicators and number plate holders on the new Yezdi motorcycle. Production version model is likely to get a similar setup as Yezdi Scrambler. So, what are the differences? Where Scrambler had a single-piece up-swept seat, the new bike had a flatter seat.New Yezdi BikeScrambler’s twin-shock rear suspension setup is replaced with a mono-shock unit and there is a single exhaust setup as opposed to Scrambler’s dual exhaust. Scrambler’s fully digital single-pod instrument cluster has been replaced with twin pod analog cluster. Surprisingly, there is a 4-way D-pad on left switchgear, hinting digital screens present in these circular dials.Other notable changes on the new bike include alloy wheels with tubeless Pirelli tyres. In a way, Yezdi seems to be carving out a lighter road-going version of its Scrambler with less features at a lower price point. If Yezdi can strike a price point of under Rs. 2 lakh, we can see it making a big splash against Royal Enfield and Honda with a more cutting edge 334cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine making 28.7 bhp and 28.2 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

      Yezdi Production, Sales To Continue Despite Ban – Company To File Appeal

      by

      While Karnataka High Court has banned Classic Legends from using Yezdi name, the company is seeking legal advice and will file an appeal shortlyYezdi Motorcycle Ban Update. Image – JAY CHOUDHARYAt a time when Yezdi was just starting to gain traction, a court ruling has barred Classic Legends from using the ‘Yezdi’ trademark. In its order, the court said that the Yezdi trademark name remains the property of the official liquidator (OL) of Ideal Jawa. The case to ban the use of Yezdi trademark was filed by Ideal Jawa Employees Association.These developments are a setback for Classic Legends, which has been tasked to resurrect legendary motorcycle brands. After Jawa debuted in 2018, the company had launched Yezdi motorcycles in January 2022. It currently has three bikes – Yezdi Roadster, Scrambler and Adventure.End of Yezdi?While enthusiasts may be a bit disappointed with legal developments, Classic Legends has assured that production and sales will continue. It will be “subject to order of the Appellate Court”. The company will be challenging the court order and is hopeful of getting a favourable resolution.The case is a bit complicated, as it dates back to 1960 when Ideal Jawa (India) came into existence. Registration of Yezdi trademark was received in 1969. While Yezdi enjoyed its glorious days with a significant fan following, the company eventually started facing existential issues in the 1980s. As a result, the company decided to wind up operations in 1991. As part of the winding up process, an Official Liquidator was appointed in 2001.Yezdi Motorcycle Ban Update. Image – Jay ChoudharyAs the company did not pay the necessary fee to renew the Yezdi trademark, it lapsed and was removed by the Trademark Registry. In parallel, other developments were taking place such as launch of Yezdi website in 1998. Later in 2013 and 2014, the Yezdi trademark was registered in trademark offices in Mumbai, Delhi and Ahmedabad. All these registrations were done by Mr. Boman Irani, who is the claimant of Yezdi trademark in this case.Apparently, no one bothered to file a case at that time since Yezdi trademark had hardly any financial value associated with it in 2013. No one would have thought that Yezdi brand would be revived and gain popularity once again. Now that Yezdi brand has decent financial worth, its ownership is being claimed by two parties.What happens next?As per current court ruling, Ideal Jawa Employees Association stands to gain significantly. The court has ordered that Boman Irani and Classic Legends should pay the company for all the gains made via the use of Yezdi trademark. The Official Liquidator of Ideal Jawa has been directed to appoint a Chartered Accountant firm that can provide an estimate of the overall gains made by Mr. Irani and Classic Legends from use of Yezdi trademark.Both Mr. Irani and Classic Legends have also been directed to pay Rs 10 lakh each to the Official Liquidator. The funds will be utilized for the winding up operations of Ideal Jawa. Classic Legends will be challenging the court order, as per legal recourse suggested by their lawyers. Meanwhile, Yezdi sales and production will continue, dependant on orders of the Appellate Court. It is possible that the matter may be resolved via an out-of-court settlement, as no one will benefit in case of a prolonged legal battle. More

      Yezdi Trademark Under Liquidator’s Realm and not with Classic Legends – Karnataka HC

      by

      Karnataka high Court has restrained Classic Legends to stop usage of Yezdi trademark as Ideal Jawa owns itNew Yezdi Roadking Render – For Reference OnlyIdeal Jawa Pvt Ltd, one of Karnataka’s jewels and was an icon when Indian motorcycling history is considered. Yezdi is derived from the Czech word. Jezdi.Since inception, Yezdi trademark has been Ideal Jawa’s property and was resurrected by Mahindra’s subsidiary, Classic Legends after absence of over 2 decades. There are three models to choose from, Scrambler, Roadster and Adventure. In November 2022, the company registered growth in sales.Yezdi Trademark TussleThe court holds Boman Irani and Classic Legends liable to account and pay Ideal Jawa. This includes payment to Ideal Jawa for all gains accrued for using the Jawa trademark. They needs to provide all details of sales and earnings to the OL for all usage of ‘Yezdi’. The OL has been instructed to appoint a CA firm of repute to determine benefits accrued from use of Yezdi trademark.And once the trademarks are properly valued, OL is allowed to sell all trademarks, and associated rights and goodwill through auction at proper valuation. Additionally, Classic Legends and Boman Irani are fined Rs. 10 lakhs.Yezdi LineupWhen Ideal Jawa went defunct in 1996, all assets of the company including Yezdi trademark, fell into the domain of Liquidator’s office. In that state, Yezdi trademark couldn’t have been procured by anyone unless all dues of Ideal Jawa are fully cleared. Until then, Yezdi trademark is solely under the realm of Liquidator’s office.Ideal Jawa Employees Association took this to court. Karnataka High Court has now declared that all trademark registration certificates issued by registrar of trademarks of Delhi, Ahmedabad and Mumbai as null and void to Boman Irani as done in bad faith. It is now directed by court to revert the trademark back to to Ideal Jawa through Official Liquidator, as they had never abandoned the trademark to begin with.OutcomeIdeal Jawa Employee Association had filed an application to registrar of trademarks against the trademark registrations of Yezdi to Classic Legends. The Association urged to raise funds from Ideal Jawa assets (Yezdi trademark) to settle creditor dues that stood tall for decades, including employee payments. The order is in abeyance for a period of a month. This so aggrieved parties can challenge it before the appellate forum.Classic Legends response – “The order is held in abeyance and the company is seeking legal advice on the matter. The company will be filing an appeal against the order shortly and is optimistic of securing favourable relief. In the interim, manufacturing and sale of motorcycles will continue, subject to orders of the Appellate Court.” More

      Yezdi Roadking 250cc Restored, Looks Stunning – Old Vs Modified

      by

      The motorcycle has a 250cc 2-stroke single-cylinder engine with an integrated gear shifter / kick starter and dual exhaustsYezdi Old To New ModificationThe logical successor of Yezdi Oilking, Roadking was or is one of the most iconic motorcycles India ever witnessed. It was produced by Ideal Jawa Ltd, based out of Mysuru, Karnataka. Yezdi Roadking was in production since 1978 and with low demand, production ended in 1996.Towards the end of its life cycle, Yezdi Roadking had secured a permanent spot in the heart of its owners. With the dawn of 4-stroke era, 2-stroke motorcycles saw their demise. New replaces old. But that doesn’t hold true for everyone. There are people who go to great lengths to restore the motorcycle that plays with their heartstrings. Let’s take a look at one such person that got his Yezdi Roadking restored with many efforts.Yezdi Roadking RestoredOwner of this restored motorcycle is a cousin of YouTuber Mundodi Vlogs. He explains all the hassles that were involved in this process. He further explains how availability of parts quality is extremely scarce as production stopped decades ago. This robs the joy of restoring such classics.He detailed the painstaking processes involving multiple tinkering and metalworking jobs. Most of its body parts had rusted. The part that took the most hit due to rust was its fuel tank. Take a look at the walkaround video of Yezdi Roadking restored below.[embedded content][embedded content]It adversely affected its carburetor and fueling as well. Before restoration, this bike was DOA as its electrical harness was feasted upon by rats. The rake of the steering has been reduced which reduced the overall length and wheelbase too.The brakes were completely jammed and both front and rear suspensions were not functioning. With everything sorted out, the parts were restored to their original condition. Yezdi Roadking restored looks like it came right out of the factory and is real eye candy for classic bike enthusiasts.Specs & FeaturesYezdi Roadking is based on a single cradle chassis with square tubing instead of round. This chassis was believed to be very balanced, stable and agile. It has a racing heritage to it too. Yezdi Roadking is based on CZ 250 which was ridden by Jaroslav Falta who secured runner-up spot in 1974 Motocross World Championship. This bike won several Indian road races and rallies as well.Restored Yezdi RoadkingIt is powered by a 250cc 2-stroke single-cylinder engine with a dual exhaust setup. It was considered to be technologically advanced as it featured a semi-automatic clutch and Jawa / CZ’s trademark gear shifter / kick starter. Even with a 16L fuel tank, Yezdi Roadking only weighed 144 kg wet. Transmitting the engine’s power to the wheels is a 4-speed gearbox.Parts availability and good workmanship are what is dragging the restoration industry down. Parts of certain classic 2-stroke motorcycles are not readily available unlike Yamaha RX 100, which is still supported by the company. Speaking of RX 100, Yamaha has announced its comeback in the near future. Yezdi currently sells Roadster, Scrambler and Adventure. Do you think Classic Legends should revive the Roadking name? More
