There’s no shortage of new motorcycles coming out of India these days, and not just from Indian manufacturers. Global players are also flooding the market, hoping to cash in on the world’s biggest two-wheeler scene.

Which brings us to Classic Legends. If you’re not familiar, they’re the folks responsible for reviving iconic names like Jawa and Yezdi under Mahindra’s umbrella. They’re not exactly a heavyweight like Royal Enfield, but they’ve carved out a nice little space in the retro and neo-retro segment by leaning hard into nostalgia, albeit with mixed results.
