Rajdoot’s Legacy in India
To understand why this relaunch is news, we have to return to the history of Rajdoot. Rajdoot 350 was the first version to come out in India during the early 1970s and it was built in partnership with Yamaha. It was highly regarded in villages and towns for its tough build, strong engine and ease of maintenance. Farmers, small traders — and even city office-goers — adored the bike for its ability to take on bad roads with ease.
And the Rajdoot was never just a motorcycle: it was a piece of Indian culture. And so Rajdoot bikes were often showcased in Bollywood movies of the time and many a young motorbike enthusiasts took pride in their independence, thanks to riding around on their two-wheeled Harleys. But escalating fuel prices, fresh competition and stricter emission regulations pushed Rajdoot out of relevance over time.
Now the new 2025 relaunch is considered as a comeback of the same legacy, with Rajdoot getting into the current market when economy and mileage are sole concerns.
