येज़्दि रोडस्टर

I am writing this review after riding for 700 km. I have driven as a solo rider and for most parts i have driven with the pillion rider. I bought this bike for my daily commute to office which is about 16km from home. I have driven in peak traffic conditions passing through Silk Board area in Bangalore. Looks This bike surely is a head turner will have resemeblance to Harley Davidson. 5/5 Seats Default/stock seats are decent for rider and pillion without any laptop bags.But when rider and pillion waears laptop bag its not comfortable. The seats are not very comfortable for long rides. 3/5 Engine This engine has load of torque, its easy to overtake a vehicle. If you are driving in a bumper to bumper traffic like Bangalore. The engine gets heated easily and you start hearing the sound of radiator. The radiator sound is quite loud and its very irritating both for rider and pillion. Only good thing about the engine is you can just drive fast apart from that nothing else. 1/5 Gear Shifting This bike has 6 Gears and it has short gearing ratio. You should constantly keep changing the gear. If the gears are not changed then engine stops which is kind of disappointing. You need to constantly be on throttle. 0/5 Brakes The breaks are really good, the dual disc does it job. 4/5 Manouvering Although this bike weighs 184 kg the weight management is brilliant. You dont feel that weight, its easy to maouver in busy traffic even with pillion.4/5 Overall this bike looks very good from the outside. But the engine heating, loud radiator sound, frequent gear shifting and engine cutting off during lower torques is a big disappointment. Although this looks like a cruiser it isnt, at the same time not a practical bike for city commute. Although Yezdi has made a comeback after long time, its very likely they have not considered the practicalities of Indian Roads and Traffic Conditions.

Probably, I went for a test drive with over expectations, I.wasnt impressed at all after my test drive 9th block Jayanagar, Bangalore showroom.. Here are few.points 1. Initially throttle performance is good in comparison to RE Meteor, however ride experience on Meteor is like butter smooth, while roadster is very rough and not refined. 2. In case your idea is touring bike, Roadster is a.confused ergonomics...it's neither here or there. 3. Gears don't slot well. On the dashboard it showed gear is in 0 or neutral, and then opened the clutch. Bike simply jumped, stalled and fell. I wasn't hurt thankfully, but had to pay for minor damages, for none of my fault. At this price point if Yezdi can't get their gear shifts right, then they will never get it.

i have owned this bike for 2 months now, had first service done. guys it has best raw power in its segment compared to meteor 350,classic 350 and cb 350. the vibes are well controlled but you can feel a bit at higher rpm.it is easily maneuverable in city, the clutch is moderate . the best thing about it is its road presence. its an eye catchy beast.so you can go for this bike.
