The iconic motorcycle brand Yezdi made a comeback after an exit from the motorcycle market in 1996. After almost 25 years, the country witnessed the re-launch of the motorcycle in three different models. The penultimate bike for thrill-seekers in the 80s and 90s, this bike is still remembered as the classic symbol of adventure for riders.
It was bought to India by Farrokh K Irani and Rustom S Irani under Indianisation of the Jawa brand of motorcycles. The brand is owned by Classic Legends and popular auto maker Mahindra and Mahindra has a 60%stake in the company
The three variants are backed by liquid-cooled fuel-injected 334 cc DOCH single cylinder engine and every model will have a distinct power output and are mated to a 6-speed gearbox . The Yezdi Roadster, Yezdi Adventure and Yezdi Scrambler are all available at any Classic Legend dealership outlet at a price range of INR 1.98 lakhs to INR 2.09 lakhs.

According to Classic Legends CEO Ashish Joshi, the biggest challenge for the company while developing the new Yezdi motorcycle(s) was to keep the spirit intact.
We also knew that the motorcycle riders have evolved over the last few decades and followed a very focussed approach. What you see now are three motorcycles ‘purpose-built’ for rider requirements across the spectrum. We have always been about redefining the modern classic segment in the country and have gone ahead and did just that,” he added.
