carandbike reached out to Classic Legends for an official statement, however, there's no official announcement as such yet. However, the social media posts by Thareja leave no doubt that Classic Legends has started creating a buzz around the Yezdi brand name, and with the social media handles of Yezdi about to go live later this evening, the re-launch of the iconic Yezdi name is imminent. It's been no secret in recent months that Classic Legends is getting ready to re-launch the Yezdi motorcycle brand, possibly with several models, and based on the common platforms with the new Jawa motorcycles.

In fact, several spy shots of two different models, both purported to be introduced under the new Yezdi brand name, had already revealed test mules of the bikes. Those spy shots revealed both an adventure-styled model, as well as an urban scrambler, and trademarks filings also had confirmed the Yezdi name and Yezdi Roadking brands. The trademark filings show the Yezdi name with ownership with Boman Rustom Irani, who originally owned Ideal Jawa India Private Limtied, the manufacturers of the old Yezdi motorcycles.

The Yezdi brand is expected to be re-launched with two new models to start off with, a scrambler, and an adventure model which will rival the Royal Enfield Himalayan.

With the official social media channels of Yezdi expected to go live later today, it's imminent that Classic Legends will very soon revive another iconic name from India's motorcycling history. Whether the Yezdi bikes will co-exist with Jawa bikes in the same showrooms, or will be retailed as a separate brand is still unclear, but in all likelihood, the Yezdi bikes will be manufactured on the same assembly line as the Jawa motorcycles, and will share a lot in common, possibly even the powerplant, which may be shared with the Jawa Perak. More details are expected closer to launch of the brand, which is likely to be in early 2022.
