Rajdoot 350 (2025) – The grand comeback of a legend
There is a name in the Indian two-wheeler market that brings back memories for many – Rajdoot. The era when its sound used to echo from the village lanes to the city roads. Today, the same name is in the news again, and this time it is not just in memories, but in front of us in reality.
Yamaha, in collaboration with Indian manufacturing partners, has brought Rajdoot 350 (2025) – a motorcycle that is a perfect blend of classic retro looks and modern technology. And the most surprising thing – its starting price is just ₹ 65,000 (ex-showroom). Not only this, it claims to give a mileage of 75 kmpl, which is no less than a dream in this segment.
A new ride of old memories
Those who grew up in the 80-90s must have heard the rumble of the old Rajdoot. Many people would have taken long journeys on it, many would have learned to ride a bike by riding it for the first time. In those times, it was not just a bike, but a symbol of status and pride.
Now, with the 2025 version, this bike has come back with the fragrance of the olden days, but with modern features.
- It is an emotional attachment for the older generation.
- For the youth, it is a vintage-meets-modern experience.
Retro styling – Still winning hearts
The new Rajdoot 350 does not compromise on its iconic look.
- Round headlamp – In the classic style, but now it has a touch of LED DRL.
- Teardrop fuel tank – Old design retained, but paint finish more premium.
- Spoke wheels – For the real vintage look.
- Chrome highlights – Shiny touch on side panels, mirrors and muffler, which makes it special.
If you ride it on the city roads, it will definitely attract people’s attention. At a time when most commuter bikes look similar, this old-school version of the Rajdoot stands out from the crowd.
Mileage – 75 kmpl, really!
In today’s times when petrol prices are constantly rising, a bike claiming 75 kmpl is a big deal in itself.
- It has a new single-cylinder, fuel-injected, BS6 Phase-2 engine.
- It has been specifically tuned to give more mileage, but at the same time, the focus has also been on its reliability.
Here’s why:
- It is an ideal choice for those who go to office or coaching daily in the city.
- It is also good for long journeys in villages and towns where petrol pumps are far away.
Price – All this for ₹ 65,000?
Nowadays, the price of 125cc commuter bikes has reached ₹ 90,000 to ₹ 1 lakh. In such a situation, it is surprising that a 350cc bike comes at ₹ 65,000.
This price immediately attracts three types of people:
- Students – who want both style and economy.
- First bike buyers – who do not want to spend much but also do not compromise on features.
- Second bike seekers – who have a car or a big bike at home, but want a light and affordable bike for everyday work.
Comfort and practicality – the perfect companion for everyday
The Rajdoot 350 (2025) is designed to be comfortable both on long highway trips and in everyday city traffic.

- Better suspension setup – smooth ride even on potholed roads.
- Large fuel tank – less hassle of frequent petrol refills.

- Semi-digital console – easy information of speed, fuel level, trip meter.
- Front disc brake – big improvement in safety.
