6,000 Riders Keep the Classic Spirit Alive on International Jawa-Yezdi Day
This fan-designated day has grown into a phenomenon, and Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles is proud to celebrate the cultural pulse powered by the two iconic brands' rider communities and dealerships. Over 6,000 riders from 12 states, 20 cities, and 18 riding communities, 120 dealerships of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles participated this year.
From the Capital Jawa Yezdi Club Delhi, Haryana Jawa Yezdi Club, and Rajasthan Jawa Yezdi Club in the north to the southern riding communities of Kanyakumari Jawa Yezdi Club, BJYMC Bengaluru, Reborn Riders Chennai, and Smoking Barrels Trivandrum, the day saw a passionate turnout. Riders from the northeast's Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club Manipur, west India's YJOC Western Maharashtra and Jawa Yezdi Club Pune, and riding communities in Mangalore, Nagercoil, Palakkad, Varanasi, Chandigarh, and Chhattisgarh brought their signature character to the rides. The day became a nationwide celebration of machines that carry stories in their tanks and memories in their mirrors.
Judging by this year's turnout, Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles continue to spark passion across generations, earning riders' love for carrying the lineage of steel, simplicity, and an honest classic soul forward. Riders who have clocked over thousands of kilometres on their 90s classic cruisers rode shoulder-to-shoulder with Gen Z bikers astride modern Jawas and Yezdis. New-age riders with GoPros and playlists; old-schoolers with toolkits and tales. All united by a common love for Jawa Yezdi motorcycling.
Sharad Agarwal, Chief Business Officer, Classic Legends, said, 'This growing wave of interest from younger riders shows how classic motorcycling is not about age or nostalgia but about character. Classic and neo-classic machines speak to something deeper. They feel and ride differently. And they are increasingly being seen by present generations as not just throwbacks, but as a statement.'
Jawa and Yezdi were built for riders who go their own way, and if over 6,000 of them choose to mark a day for their machines, Classic Legends is honoured to tip its helmet to them on this International Jawa-Yezdi Day. Every year, this fan-driven celebration only grows louder. And every year, it reminds us: Classic does not fade. It rides on.

A date with nostalgia: Bikers ride through Mysuru outskirts to mark ‘Jawa Day'
Around 80 proud owners of Jawa and Yezdi bikes which ruled the roads in a bygone era went on a ride from Mysuru to Srirangapatna to mark 'Jawa Day', on Sunday. The organisers claimed it was the 23rd edition of the 'Jawa Day', and the participants were those who own Jawa or Yezdi motorcycles and have not changed brands despite multiple options in the present times. These bikes were manufactured in Mysuru, before the company – Ideal Jawa - shut down and stopped manufacturing in 1996. However, the enthusiasm and passion for the bike still remains strong as is evident from the number of participants of this event every year. The 'Jawa Day' is conducted on the second Sunday of every July. The ride commenced from Koorgalli industrial area, passed through Belagola, and reached Srirangapatna before culminating at the starting point. The organisers said that they were denied permission to hold the rally in Mysuru, and hence were forced to change their route and take a ride through the outskirts of the city. Organisers expressed hope that future editions would return to city roads, allowing more people to witness the legacy of these legendary bikes.
