The Yezdi brand was a legend of its time. Produced by Ideal Jawa from Mysore, the two stroke motorcycles under the Yezdi brand were powerful and simple two stroke machines that Indian motorcycle enthusiasts grew up with in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. While Ideal Jawa is now under, some enthusiasts have kept the Yezdis alive, in stock and modified form. Today, we take look at five more modified Yezdis from India and abroad.

A Yezdi Classizc was an everyday bike when it was made and sold, and even up to the early noughties. Now, though spotting a Classic 250 on Indian roads is akin to spotting an exotic. To make the Classic even more exotic, a bunch of engineering students put together a hub steering at front.
Now, a hub steering eliminates dive during braking, making the motorcycle more stable. High end superbikes from the Bimota make usually are hub steered. By marrying exotic technology to the everyday Yezdi Classic, the students just built themselves an exotic, right here in India.
