Yezdi Motorcycles India Launch Live Updates: Design, Engine, Specification, Performance, Features, P

The new and resurrected Yezdi range of motorcycles is going on sale in India today. Classic Legends Private Limited, a subsidiary of Mahindra & Mahindra, which is also the parent company of Jawa motorcycles, has resurrected the modern classic range of motorcycles and will be selling it alongside Jawa motorcycles in the same dealerships. Classic Legends is expected to introduce three new bikes under the revived Yezdi brand name. All three bikes are expected to be based on the same platform, and we expect the bikes to use the 334 cc single-cylinder motor seen on the Jawa Perak.

The Yezdi Roadster is also similar in looks and appeal to the Jawa Forty-Two and will cater to a similar set of customers.

The Yezdi brand will be the third resurrection from Classic Legends after Jawa and more recently, BSA, which has been announced for European and American markets for now. The Yezdi brand was a creation of Ideal Jawa, owned by the Irani family who sold licensed Jawa motorcycles in India beginning in 1960. The Yezdi brand was introduced in 1973 by the same firm and was based on the Czech-origin Jawa bikes.

The Scrambler is the lightest, and has the shortest wheelbase, gets more suspension travel and ground clearance than the Roadster, but less than the Adventure.

Classic Legends is betting big on the Yezdi brand, reviving nostalgia from the 1960s and 1970s when the original Yezdi motorcycles with a 250 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, as well as a 350 cc twin and a 175 cc single-cylinder engine were introduced. The most popular Yezdi was by far the one with the 250 cc single-cylinder engine which was introduced in several models and variants, and continued to be on sale till the mid-1990s.
