Motorcycle enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Classic Legends passes on substantial savings to customers following the government’s recent GST restructuring. The company has announced significant price reductions across its entire Jawa and Yezdi portfolio, with some models becoming cheaper by as much as ₹17,000.
The price relief comes after the government reduced GST on motorcycles with engines smaller than 350cc from 28% to 18%. Since every motorcycle in the Jawa and Yezdi lineup features either a 293cc or 334cc engine, the entire range qualifies for this tax benefit, which becomes effective from September 22.
How Much Can You Save?
The savings vary across different models, but they’re substantial enough to make these motorcycles significantly more accessible. Classic Legends has shared the revised starting prices for each model, though final pricing may vary slightly at individual dealerships.
Among the Yezdi models, the Adventure sees the biggest reduction. Previously priced at ₹2.15 lakh, it now costs ₹1.98 lakh – representing a saving of ₹17,000. The Scrambler also benefits from a similar reduction, dropping from ₹2.12 lakh to ₹1.95 lakh. The entry-level Roadster becomes even more attractive at ₹1.94 lakh, down from its previous ₹2.10 lakh price tag.
Jawa’s flagship model, the Perak, experiences one of the most significant price drops in the lineup. The distinctive cruiser now starts at ₹2.00 lakh instead of ₹2.17 lakh, making it ₹17,000 more affordable than before. The stylish 42 Bobber follows closely with a ₹17,000 reduction, bringing its price down to ₹1.93 lakh from ₹2.10 lakh.
The Jawa 42, which uses the smaller 293cc engine, becomes more budget-friendly at ₹1.59 lakh compared to its earlier ₹1.72 lakh pricing. Meanwhile, the Jawa 350 drops to ₹1.83 lakh from ₹1.99 lakh, and the newest addition, the 42 FJ, is now priced at ₹1.94 lakh instead of ₹2.10 lakh.

Making Premium Motorcycles Accessible
These price revisions bring nearly the entire Jawa and Yezdi range under the psychological ₹2 lakh barrier, with only the Perak slightly crossing this mark. This pricing strategy makes these retro-styled motorcycles more competitive against established players in the premium commuter and mid-capacity segments.
The timing couldn’t be better for potential buyers who have been considering these distinctive motorcycles. With their unique styling that pays homage to classic designs while incorporating modern technology, both brands have carved out a niche in the Indian motorcycle market.
Classic Legends has been working steadily to strengthen its market presence. The company recently announced that all its motorcycles now come with an industry-leading 4-year or 50,000-kilometer warranty as standard equipment. This extended coverage adds significant value to the ownership proposition, especially when combined with the recent price cuts.
The manufacturer has also expanded its network substantially, crossing the 450-touchpoint milestone across India. This growing dealer network ensures better accessibility and after-sales support for customers in both urban and semi-urban markets.
What This Means for Buyers
The GST reduction and subsequent price cuts make this an opportune time for motorcycle enthusiasts to consider these unique offerings. Whether you’re drawn to the Yezdi Adventure’s touring capabilities, the Perak’s distinctive cruiser styling, or the 42 Bobber’s urban appeal, the reduced prices make these motorcycles more attainable.
For those who have been on the fence about purchasing a Jawa or Yezdi motorcycle, these price reductions eliminate a significant barrier. The combination of competitive pricing, extended warranty coverage, and expanding dealer network creates a compelling value proposition that’s hard to ignore.
The revised pricing structure also positions these motorcycles more favorably against competitors, potentially attracting buyers who might have previously considered other brands due to price considerations.
