Classic Legends announced the revival of the defunct brand ‘Yezdi’ in the Indian market with the debut of three motorcycles. Under the Yezdi moniker, Classic Legends launched a Roadster, Scrambler and an Adventure motorcycle. Ironically, the names and design languages on each of the three coincide with their names. However, the coincidence is not just with the name but also with the design. While the Scrambler and Roadster come with a unique look, the Adventure appears to draw inspiration from the Royal Enfield Himalayan. Thus, we bring you a specifications comparison between the Yezdi Adventure and the Royal Enfield Himalayan, as looks are subjective.
The Yezdi Adventure motorcycle comes with a starting price of INR 2,09,900 ex-showroom. The price of the motorcycle depending on the choice of colour can go up to INR 2,18,900 ex-showroom. The Royal Enfield Himalayan comes with an On-Road price starting at INR 2.54 lakh and goes up to INR 2.84 lakh depending on the customisation options chosen via the Royal Enfield Make-It-Yours application.
