India’s shaping up to be the next big deal in the motorcycle world, kind of like what Japan was back in the '70s. You’ve got affordable bikes, fun performance, and enough charm to keep things interesting. Leading that charge is Classic Legends, the Mahindra-backed group that’s breathed new life into Jawa, Yezdi, and BSA. And now, they’re ready to take the show global.
The plan? Get bikes into seven new markets by the end of 2025.
We’re talking the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, and the Middle East. Jawa and BSA will headline the export push, while Yezdi stays rooted in India. Of the lot, the BSA Gold Star 650 is the one to watch. It’s a handsome retro single with a 652cc engine, old-school styling, and pricing that’s hard to argue with—especially when you factor in India’s cost advantages. It’s the kind of bike that gives off vintage vibes without draining your savings.
