The Yamaha Rajdoot 350 is ready to be lauched with a bang in 2025. Folklored as India’s first real performance bike, the Rajdoot 350 had a cult following in the 1980s. This time, it comes back with a new engine, updated design, and modern technology while still keeping the spirit of its vintage version.
Traditional Style Revisited
The 2025 Rajdoot 350 still features the signature design elements that made it legendary. It gets a round headlight, tear-drop fuel tank, flat seat and classic side panels. But this new model now even gets LED lighting, fresh set of alloys and a semi-digital instrument cluster to give that retro feel with modern ease of use.
Yamaha has revolutionized the chassis and frame of its PW by utilizing the lightest materials offering quality, durability and flexibility. This has been highlighted with chrome finishes, blacked-out engine parts and a dual-tone finish making it a looker with the robustness of a classic.
Engine & Performance
Unlike the old two-stroke unit, the new Rajdoot 350 is equipped with BS6 Phase-2 compliant, 348cc single-cylinder, air-oil cooled, 4-stroke engine. It churns out somewhere around 30 bhp of power and 30 Nm of torque which provides a buttery smooth and torque feel while in the city and on the highways. It gets a 6-speed transmission with slipper clutch which makes gear shifting easier and front wheel grip during aggressive downshifts. The bike will have a top speed of 130 km/h, so it will be as much fun as it is manageable.
Ride and Handling
The Motorcycle features telescopic front forks and dual rear suspension for a more stable, comfortable ride. Suspension is set up for a plush ride, whether you’re riding on city streets or bumpy back roads.
Riders will also appreciate its upright handlebar, mid-set footpegs, and flat saddle for cruising comfort and an easy reach to the ground for confident handling. Kerb weight is estimated to be under 180 kg, which will result in the motorcycle feeling light on its feet without getting wobbly.
Braking and Safety
For braking duties, the Yamaha Rajdoot 350 2025 employs disc brakes on both wheels along with a dual-channel ABS for improved braking performance and safety. This provides good stopping power in all weathers and when stopping suddenly.
Additional safety features are side-stand engine cut-off, hazard lights and pass switch when cruising on the highway.
Technology & Features
But the new Rajdoot isn’t purely a nostalgia trip — it also features a number of modern elements:
- LED headlight and taillamp
- Digital + Analogue instrument console
- Bluetooth connectivity
- USB charging port
- Side-stand indicator
- Gear position indicator
The instrument cluster provides live stats like trip meter, fuel gauge, distance-to-empty and average fuel economy.
Mileage and Tank Capacity
The Rajdoot 350 will have better fuel injection owing to the newer BS6 tuning and is expected to return a decent mileage of 32-38 km/l and a 13 litre tank to enable you with long runs on weekends without the need to refill.
Price and Launch Date Prediction
The Yamaha Rajdoot 350 will see daylight in the end of 2025 or early 2026. It is expected to be priced in the range of ₹1.95 lakh to ₹2.10 lakh which will put it in a direct rivalry with the likes of the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda CB350 H’ness and the Jawa 42.
Final Verdict
Yamaha Rajdoot 350 2025 resurrects an icon with modern specs. It’s a great combination of heritage styling, big motor, rider comfort and fairly basic tech. For fans who have been drooling over the original Rajdoot all their lives and for the younger riders that want some nostalgia with meaningful modernisation, the bike ticks all the boxes.
If you are craving for a retro bike with good looks and performance capabilities, then look out for the new Rajdoot 350.
