Rajdoot 350 : After years of anticipation, the iconic Rajdoot 350 is making a grand comeback in 2025. Fondly remembered as the “Indian Yamaha RD350,” this legendary motorcycle is set to captivate riders once again with its perfect blend of retro charm and modern engineering. The new Rajdoot 350 is not just a nostalgic tribute—it’s a well-crafted machine designed to deliver power, style, and reliability for today’s riders.
A Timeless Design with a Contemporary Edge
The 2025 Rajdoot 350 beautifully balances classic aesthetics with modern refinements. It retains the signature elements that made the original so beloved—such as the round headlamp, teardrop fuel tank, and chrome-accented exhaust pipes—while incorporating sleeker lines and premium finishes. The dual-pod instrument cluster and spoked wheels add to its vintage appeal, while the muscular stance ensures it looks contemporary.
Available in nostalgic color schemes like deep maroon, classic blue, and black gold with golden pinstripes, the bike exudes sophistication. The flat seat and polished side panels enhance its retro charm, making it a head-turner on city streets and open highways alike.
Powerful Performance with Modern Refinement
The old Rajdoot 350 was well-known for the raw push that its two-stroker engine used to give and the 2025 version now gets an updated 347cc, four-stroke motor. This new motor allows for a silky yet thrilling ride, producing an expected 38 horsepower when you rip the throttle. The throttle is a quick little revolver, making for a snappy city slugger and highway cruiser.
Engineers have made the bike more reliable and more usable, while keeping the bike’s zesty nature. The result is a motorcycle with incredible acceleration and character, a bike you can ride every day while also being competent for the occasional track day and capable of riding across difficult terrain.
Comfortable and Agile Ride
The ride posture of the Rajdoot 350 is still upright, relaxed and comfortable for both short rides and long adventures. The chassis has a new light weight design that provides stability and maneuverability on the field. Fit with telescopic front forks and double rear shock absorbers to soak up bumps easily are the ease to use features.
Whether hustling down twisty roads or at autobahn speed, the bike feels secure and predictable. Precisely determined handling builds confidence, whether on twisty mountain roads or threading through traffic jams inside the city.
Modern Features for Today’s Riders
It nods to the Rajdoot 350’s retro roots without sacrificing the benefits of modern technology. It features dual-channel ABS for better safety, digital-analog instrument cluster with all necessary ride knowledge and LED lamps for enhanced visibility on road.
Tech-savvy riders will enjoy the smartphone connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation and ease of charging devices through a USB port located beneath the seat. These were all thoughtful specifications that would make the Haibike appealing to the classic motorcycle crowd, as well as younger riders used to modern conveniences.
Surprisingly Fuel-Efficient for a Performance Bike
Only the original Rajdoot 350 had one Achilles’ Heel, and that was its thirsty nature. The 2025 design overcomes this with more efficient fuel injection and combustion, providing a projected 35-40 kmpl fuel consumption. It’s exactly the kind of bike that could handle daily chores of commuting and retain the fun factor of a proper performance machine.
