Classic Legends has announced the much-anticipated revival of the Yezdi motorcycle brand in India today and just as it did with Jawa back in late 2018, three new motorcycles have been launched. The brand Yezdi has a bad boy reputation in India and the owners were perceived to be the cooler kids in town. With a rich history behind it, Yezdi has finally arrived!
The Yezdi lineup comprises three motorcycles namely Scrambler, Roadster and Adventure, and their production has already commenced. The company says the despatches to the dealerships have begun with deliveries expected sooner. The Yezdi Roadster, in question, is priced competitively at Rs. 1.98 lakh for Smoke Grey, and Rs. 2.02 lakh for Steel Blue and Hunter Grey colours.
The chrome variant costs Rs. 2.06 lakh for Gallant Grey and Sin Silver shades each (all prices, ex-showroom). The Yezdi Roadster is priced against Royal Enfield Classic 350, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda H’ness CB350 and Jawa 42. It has retro design elements blended with modern features and has slightly rear-set footpegs, twin exhaust and upright handlebar positioning.
