Introduction: A New Era for Mid-Capacity Motorcycles

Classic Legends, the company behind the revival of Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles in India, has announced significant price reductions across its portfolio. Thanks to the recent GST 2.0 reforms, which lowered the tax rate on motorcycles below 350cc from 28% to 18%, most models are now priced under ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom). This move aims to make mid-capacity motorcycles more accessible to a broader audience, especially younger riders seeking performance-classic bikes.

Impact of GST 2.0 Reforms

The GST 2.0 reforms have had a profound impact on the pricing of motorcycles in India. By reducing the tax rate for motorcycles below 350cc, the government has made mid-capacity motorcycles more affordable. Classic Legends has passed on the full benefit of this tax reduction to customers, resulting in savings of up to ₹17,000 on select models. This policy shift not only makes these motorcycles more accessible but also revitalizes iconic brands like Jawa and Yezdi, which had faded from the Indian market decades ago due to previous policy changes.

The company’s expanded sales and service network, now with over 450 touchpoints across India, ensures wider accessibility for customers.

Strategic Timing Ahead of the Festive Season

The timing of these price reductions aligns strategically with the upcoming festive season, a period when motorcycle sales typically see an uptick. Classic Legends anticipates strong demand from younger buyers aspiring to own a heritage motorcycle. By making these iconic models more affordable, the company aims to tap into the growing interest in mid-capacity motorcycles and reinforce the legacy appeal of its brands.
