Classic Legends (CL) announced the new prices for its line of celebrated performance classics under Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles. Most of them, ranging from the Adventure, Roadster, Bobber, to the Scrambler, are now available at under Rs 2 lakh. Decades ago, a policy change banned the 2-stroke motorcycle, deemed unfit for the environment, halting the journey of Jawa and Yezdi in India, then market leaders in their segment. This month, another progressive policy shift has restored them to centre stage. With GST 2.0 reforms, the Jawa and Yezdi are being reborn as people’s performance classics, once again set to lead India’s motorcycling culture. All of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles either have a 293cc or a 334cc Alpha2 liquid-cooled engine, the latter outperforming its peers with 29PS and 30Nm of torque.
“The government’s bold and timely GST reforms will bring a tectonic shift for the greater good, echoing the historic transition from 2-stroke to 4-stroke engines. Classic Legends welcomes the GST rationalisation, especially the reduced rate of 18 percent for under-350cc motorcycles, which covers our 293cc and 334cc Jawa and Yezdi performance classics,” said Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles. “While it raises the tax burden for higher cc motorcycles such as our 652cc BSA Gold Star, we accept it as the hallmark of progressive taxation. The trade-off makes mid-segment bikes accessible to a larger rider community — a win for India’s motorcycling culture. We thank the Hon’ble Finance Minister for the fresh impetus for demand that will energise the economy amid a slowdown and global tariff wars. Decades ago, our brands faded due to a policy shift; today, policy foresight is helping restore their legendary stature. We will pass on 100% of the GST benefit to our customers. Coinciding with the festive season, we are telling young Indians who aspire to own a true iconic performance motorcycle: Your time is now,” he added.
At prices that now make young India’s aspirations for an iconic classic motorcycle more achievable than ever, Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles is bringing back high-fashion retro machines with segment-busting designs, world-class engineering, and performance technology optimised for Indian roads.
