Yezdi Motorcycles: The Classic that Defined Generations

[@vigoboy8339]

A big 👍🏻 to you for this video. I am guessing you may have owned any of there vintage beauties too. I picked up my brand new 1995 Roadking ... owned for abt 28 years and hv maintained it in its stock & pristine condition. I swear by this bike... its abilities - performance, reliability and simple maintenance. My RK could easily clock 100+ Kms/Hr anyday. However this ageing bike currently is with her new owner who seems to own it with great passion... hopefully he vl continue to keep her legacy alive for many more years to come.

Back then some bikes had the yezdi logo on the tank come off and they stuck it back upside down, so it became Ipzeh 😂 Anyway if only the original yezdi D250 2 stroke was available today, I'd buy it in a heartbeat just to hear that lovely exhaust note. Back then Yezdi was for college students and younger people. A leather jacket, blue jeans, studds helmet and a yezdi....and you were a stud 😄 Rajdoot and Enfield were for working class people like milkmen, police etc.

Well.. whatever may be the status or profession of the enduser of any of these vintage bikes, the question was - would these bike let you down during cases of breakdowns? Personally, whenever i faced issues like snapped throttle or clutch or brakes cable, a flat on the rear tyre... i could still ride my Yezdi to a mechanic or my home and hv the bike fixed... 😊 If run out of fuel, i'd still could tilt bike to move remaining leftover fuel in the tank and could scuttle to nearest fuel station 😃

One other thing abt Yezdi/ Jawa bikes is that one could sport a spare tyre/ Stepney in place of crash guard

​@@user-id5fo5fv8r well said and true.. vintage classic vs. modern retro/ classics as is the case of today's bikes from RE or CL, etc..
