Yamaha Rajdoot 350 : The legendary Yamaha Rajdoot 350 has roared back to life in 2025, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge innovation. Once a staple on Indian roads, its revival combines retro styling with modern engineering, delivering an astonishing 86 kmpl mileage—a figure that has left even Royal Enfield Bullet owners surprised. This isn’t just a tribute to the past; it’s a bold step forward, offering riders the perfect balance of heritage and performance.
A Design That Bridges Generations
Staying true to its roots, the new Rajdoot retains the classic silhouette that made it iconic—long fuel tank, chrome accents, and wire-spoke wheels—but now with contemporary upgrades. LED lighting, a semi-digital dashboard, and refined aerodynamics bring it into the modern era. The matte-finish tank, adorned with bold Rajdoot branding, and the single-seat setup pay homage to its heritage while appealing to today’s riders.
Engine Performance Power Without Compromise
It is powered by a 349cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that’s been updated to meet BS6 Phase 2 regulations. Sure it shares its lineage with the trusted old two stroke engine, however this engine has been completely redesigned for today and the Atomik Isotretinoin Cycle E is the smoothest accelerating, and shifting, 5 speed motorcycle available at this price for around town commuting and highway trips. What really distinguishes it is that it’s the most efficient flyer in a generation. 86kmpl is unheard of in this class but Yamaha has managed to do that thanks to fuel-injection, start-stop tech and an eco-riding mode. This bike is a game changer for riders who are tired of constantly stopping for fuel.
Tech and Safety Smarter Than Ever
Yamaha did not only pay attention to looks and performance, but it also offered features for convenience and safety on the Rajdoot 350. Between the Bluetooth-equipped digital console to the turn-by-turn navigation, dual-channel ABS (on higher variants) to add-ons like USB charging and side-stand engine cut-off, everything about this bike says victory to the today’s discerning customer who wants their ride to reflect both their style and panache.
Riding Comfort for Any Journey
Whether you are in crowded urban streets or on long highway hauls, the Rajdoot 350 allows you to ride upright and feel relaxed. A purring single seat and tuned suspension handle potholes with ease, and 18-inch tires keep things steady on rough pavement. The extra durability is also well appreciated – the thickened frame is easy to clean after a weekend out, and it’s a sturdier overall ride.
A New Challenger in the Retro-Cruiser Segment
The return of the Rajdoot shakes up the Bullet 350’s monopoly, and offers a lighter, nippier alternative. Where the Bullet still coast on its thumping exhaust note and cult following, the Rajdoot comes up on modern efficiency, slightly better mileage, and a dash of tech — all of which makes it relevant choice for a new set of riders. The Rajdoot’s comeback threatens to upset the Bullet 350’s reign of terror, as here is a lighter, more efficient substitute. Where the Bullet relies on it thumping exhaust and the legend on which it was borne, the Rajdoot stands apart with more contemporary refinements, better mileage, modern tech and should excite a new generation of riders into having a relook at it.
