Yezdi Roadster 350 Alpha2: Specs, price and features explained
The new Roadster builds on the brand's heritage while clearly appealing to modern sensibilities. Its design retains the classic Yezdi cues, including the sculpted fuel tank, chopped rear fender, and signature twin-barrel exhaust note. Wider rear tyres and bold details, such as the Faravahar insignia, add contemporary flair while grounding the motorcycle in its roots.
What sets the Roadster apart is its extensive customisation. Riders can choose from six factory kits and over 20 accessories, enabling more than 50 possible combinations. The modular seating system, a first in the segment, lets owners to swap between a bobber-inspired solo seat and a dual-seat touring setup with ease. Options for handlebars, visors, and crash guards further broaden its adaptability.
At its core lies the all-new 350 Alpha2 liquid-cooled engine, producing 29 PS and 30 Nm of torque. The inclusion of a six-speed gearbox, along with an assist and slipper clutch, reflects Yezdi's attempt to raise the bar in this category. A 12.5-litre fuel tank promises a practical touring range of over 350 km, while forward-set footpegs and a 795 mm seat height balance comfort with accessibility.
When it comes to ride and handling, the Roadster impresses with Continental-sourced dual-channel ABS, 320 mm front and 240 mm rear disc brakes, and a suspension setup tuned for stability as well as comfort. This combination should give the Roadster the confidence to hold its own against rivals that have long defined the segment.
Equally important is the ownership package. The Roadster is backed by the Jawa Yezdi BSA Ownership Assurance Programme, which provides a standard four-year/50,000 km warranty, roadside assistance, and extended coverage options. With more than 300 service touchpoints across India, Yezdi is investing in support infrastructure to build trust among customers.
The mid-capacity motorcycle market is undeniably competitive, with strong contenders already enjoying loyal followings. Yet, with its updated engine, modular design, and aggressive pricing, the new Roadster represents Yezdi's most compelling offering yet. If it can translate heritage into consistent reliability and wider appeal, it may well find its footing in this space.
The 2025 Yezdi Roadster is available in two variants. The standard version offers Sharkskin Blue (₹2,09,969), Smoke Grey (₹2,12,969), Bloodrush Maroon (₹2,16,969), and Savage Green (₹2,21,969). The premium Shadow Black variant, priced at ₹2,25,969, features matte finishes, blacked-out elements, and multifunctional blinkers. For a 350cc motorcycle with this level of equipment and customisation, the Roadster enters the market at a price point that is difficult to ignore.

Yezdi Roadster 350 Alpha2: Specs, price and features explained
The Yezdi name is synonymous with India's motorcycling heritage , but its recent comeback has been met with mixed results. While the revival stirred nostalgia, the brand has struggled to make the kind of impact its legacy deserved. With the launch of the 2025 Roadster, however, Yezdi is signalling its intent to shift gears and reassert itself in a highly competitive segment dominated by established names. The new Roadster builds on the brand's heritage while clearly appealing to modern sensibilities. Its design retains the classic Yezdi cues, including the sculpted fuel tank, chopped rear fender, and signature twin-barrel exhaust note.

Classic Legends may launch electric bike in UK first, IPO in 12–18 months
Classic Legends, the Mahindra-backed venture that has resurrected heritage brands like Jawa , Yezdi and BSA , is preparing for its next big leap, an electric motorcycle. The machine is already ready, but the company has chosen not to launch it yet. For co-founder and managing director Anupam Thareja, the logic is clear. Building a credible mid-market global motorcycle brand means getting the timing right rather than rushing into a crowded EV space, a report by PTI stated. Classic Legends, backed by Mahindra, is preparing for a public listing within 12–18 months while holding back its electric motorcycle launch until market conditions improve. The EV, developed in the UK, is expected to debut there before arriving in India. Classic Legends has positioned itself as more than just a retro motorcycle maker. By reviving legacy brands in both India and the UK, it is attempting to create a global story that blends nostalgia with modern mobility trends. IPO on the horizon While the electric bike waits in the wings, the company is also preparing for a public listing. Thareja indicated that a stock market debut within the next 12 to 18 months is very likely. Interestingly, Classic Legends does not have an urgent need to raise funds. With ₹875 crore already in reserves, the IPO is more about structure and scale than about short-term liquidity. 'We are creating a global company," Thareja said, signalling the intent to align capital with long-term ambitions. Also Read : Classic Legends to rev up exports, accelerate domestic network expansion EVs: ready but waiting On the product front, the electric motorcycle has already been developed at the company's Coventry-based R&D hub in the UK. Supported by a 50 per cent government grant, the facility has become central to Classic Legends' EV strategy. Yet the bike will not be rushed into showrooms. Thareja believes scooters will drive the first wave of EV adoption, followed by commuter motorcycles, while premium classics will be among the last to shift. The reasoning is pragmatic. Long-range motorcycles require larger battery packs that remain expensive. Charging infrastructure is still limited and financing for electric two-wheelers is not yet widespread. All of these factors combine to make a premium electric motorcycle a product slightly ahead of its time. UK first, India later Given the current environment, the UK is likely to be the first market where Classic Legends' electric bike will debut. India, despite being the home base for Jawa and Yezdi, may have to wait until infrastructure and consumer appetite for electric classics improve. Also watch: The 2025 Yezdi Adventure is here with new looks and features. This is what the exhaust sounds like Balancing audacity with patience Classic Legends has shown boldness before, such as bringing back BSA in the UK before entering India. Yet on electrification, the company is exercising restraint. For Thareja, the strategy is about aligning audacity with patience. The goal is to ensure that when the brand finally goes electric, it does so on the right terms and at the right time. Check out Upcoming EV Bikes in India. First Published Date:
