The legendary Yamaha Rajdoot 350 is finally making a comeback in 2025, and this time it blends classic charm with modern power. For riders who grew up hearing the roar of the original Rajdoot/RD series, this new model feels like a nostalgic dream—revived for a new generation with updated tech, safety features, and a refreshed 350cc engine.
This retro-modern motorcycle is designed to capture today’s huge demand for vintage-styled bikes while keeping the soul of the original Rajdoot alive.
Retro Design With Modern Attitude
The new Rajdoot 350 brings back its old-school charm—rounded headlamp, muscular tank, chrome detailing, twin rear shocks, and a classic upright stance. Yamaha has added modern touches like LED lights, digital display elements, alloy wheels (in some variants), and premium paint options such as Matte Black, Olive Green, and Deep Blue.
It still looks like the Rajdoot we love—just smarter and stronger.
Engine & Performance (2025 Model)
Yamaha is expected to use a new 349cc refined engine with a 5-speed gearbox. Early reports suggest:
- Smooth and punchy acceleration
- Better fuel efficiency through modern tuning
- Comfortable cruising power for highway rides
- Refined engine noise with a hint of classic Rajdoot character
Mileage figures vary, but real-world numbers are expected to be around 30–35 km/l, giving it a respectable balance between power and practicality.
Features & Technology
Even though the Rajdoot 350 keeps its retro looks, Yamaha has added important modern features:
- LED headlamp & indicators
- Semi-digital instrument cluster
- Dual-channel ABS
- USB mobile charger
- Telescopic front forks + twin rear shocks
- Improved exhaust tuning for classic sound
The digital-analogue meter gives it a premium feel without losing the vintage charm.
Ride Quality & Handling
The Rajdoot 350 focuses on comfort and stability. The chassis is tuned for smooth city rides and relaxed highway cruising. Wider tyres help with better grip, especially on wet or uneven roads. Yamaha has worked on reducing vibrations, giving the bike a more refined riding experience than the older Rajdoot models.
Mileage, Tank Capacity & Range
- Mileage: 30–35 km/l (expected)
- Fuel Tank: 14–15 litres
- Total Riding Range: Up to ~450 km on a full tank
This makes the Rajdoot 350 ideal for daily use as well as weekend trips.
