The Return of the Originals: Yezdi and BSA Ignite a New Era for Scramblers in India

In a landmark event that bridged British engineering heritage with Indian motorcycling grit, Classic Legends today unveiled two of the most anticipated machines of the year: the Yezdi Scrambler 350 and the BSA Scrambler 650.

The launch marks the first time these two legendary brands have shared a stage to co-strengthen the “Scrambler” category—a segment the founders describe as the “SUVs of motorcycling.” Designed for the modern rider who demands agility in urban traffic and ruggedness on weekend trails, these motorcycles are set to redefine the premium mid-capacity market.

The Visionaries Speak: ‘A Taut, Restless Storm’

The event was headlined by the architects of India’s classic motorcycle revival. Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Classic Legends, drew a bold parallel between the biking world and the automotive industry’s shift toward versatility.

“I have always believed that scramblers will redefine Indian riding culture the way SUVs redefined passenger four-wheelers,” Thareja stated. “Between the Yezdi 350 and the BSA 650, we have just defined what the Indian scrambler can be. The new Yezdi is designed to be your first crush… a taut, restless storm in stance and performance.”

Boman Irani, Co-Founder of Classic Legends, touched upon the emotional and historical weight of the Yezdi name, recalling the “underground scrambler movement” he witnessed growing up.

“Yezdi has always belonged to riders with a flair for style and little patience for rigid labels,” Irani remarked. “Each ride carries a sense of mischief that has always been a part of the Yezdi experience.”

A Legacy Reclaimed

The scrambler format isn’t new to these brands; it’s in their DNA. From hand-modified BSAs in the 1940s to Yezdis traversing the diverse Indian landscape in the decades that followed, these bikes were “co-created by riders” before they ever hit the factory floor.

By launching these two distinct models, Classic Legends is inviting the global riding community to “cause a scene.” Whether it’s the restless energy of the Yezdi 350 or the enduring spirit of exploration embodied by the BSA 650, the “Originals” have officially returned to claim their throne on Indian roads.

Industry-First Ownership Assurance

Classic Legends is backing this launch with a massive commitment to rider peace of mind through a comprehensive Ownership Assurance Programme:

  • Warranty: 4-year/50,000-km standard (Extended up to 6 years).
