Yamaha Rajdoot 350 is all set to return soon, its iconic retro style will be integrated with new age technology A cult favourite in the 80s and 90s, famous for its raw power, this bike returns with better performance and updated safety features along with an eco-friendly engine. Today, we take a closer look at what the 2025 Rajdoot 350 brings to the table.
Modern design meets classic style
A round headlamp along with chrome-finished exhausts and a beefy fuel tank ensure that the 2025 iteration of the Yamaha Rajdoot 350 still has an old-school appeal. The 2020 Honda Super Cub C125 costs more than twice that of a Grom yet You could buy two Groms for the same scratch, but it gets LED lighting, digital-analog instrumentation and nicer paint nowadays. Old meets new in the bike design, blending a retro touch with modern styling and looking cent-per-cent to answer the prayers of both old-school riders and pure new-gen bikers.
Powerful Engine and Smooth Performance
Powering the Rajdoot 350 is a BS6-compliant 350cc parallel-twin engine, mounted under the tank. Aside from the decrease in emissions versus the older two-stroke, it provides smooth acceleration and better fuel efficiency. The turbo four produces good power and an acceptable amount of noise, which fits the Civic nicely within its role as city car and highway cruiser. Advanced Features for Today’s Riders
The Yamaha Rajdoot 350 gets dual-channel ABS, disc brakes at both ends and a slipper clutch for smoother gear shifts. The Bradford as such provides full Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation and call alerts, something one would expect to find handy with most modern riders.
Comfort and Ride Quality
The bike is content for longer distances with it’s comfortable, upright seating position. Stability is maintained even on undulated surfaces due to the telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers in place.
Expected Price and Launch Date
We can expect the Yamaha Rajdoot 350 to go on sale in India by late 2025, and its price might be positioned around ₹2.5 lakh to ₹2.8 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be marketed by Yamaha as a top end retro-classic motorcycle, locking horns against the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Jawa 42 Bobber.
Mileage and Variants
Considering the commuting usage, we expect the new Rajdoot 350 to return a mileage of 28-32 km/l (approx). It could also be sold in two versions – a bog standard example for city riders and something a bit more touring-focused with added comfort features.
Final Verdict
The re-launch of the Yamaha Rajdoot 350 is nothing short of a revival. This could give the RX3 element high appeal among classic riders wanting something with retro looks, while still providing modern performance but also act as a drawcard to the younger audience looking for style, reliable power. Meet the Rajdoot 350 – a rare blend of retro design and ultra-modern tech that you have been waiting for.
