Yezdi Bikes

I have been driving a classic 350 for the last 9 years and have been searching for a bike for the last 2 years and am overwhelmed with Roadstar. I needed a cruiser with high pickup and got all the other features which are a bonus for me. Classic braking is so poor that you have to put both brakes together much ahead. Acceleration was only moderate when you are at 40 - 60, otherwise, initial pickup. Digital console is a basic requirement nowadays which is not to be mentioned. But now the final one. The assisted clutch is the call of the day which is much required and dual channel ABS makes Roadstar no comparison to others. Thanks, Yezdi.

Let us start the story from scratch 1. Buying Experience - I visited Stellar Motors to purchase the bike. They offered me the bike to test drive. I enjoyed riding and then decided to purchase they gave me the quotation and I was happy because its in my budget I booked the bike and gave them the date to get the delivery. Now they contacted me after one week and asked me to take the bike as per their date and started harassing me that the price would be increased and they would not be able to give the quotation price. The sales person Manisha Feroz promised to get the accessories before taking the delivery after I booked she started the problem stating price would change if I took it or would not be able to give me the same price later she said she would not be able to give the additional accessories which i booked. I went to a different seller get the accessories arranged and delivered them to Stellar Motors. Then I agreed with the salesperson and asked to deliver on bike on their date. The worst seller is Stellar Motors on the date of delivery they asked me to pay the difference in price which was earlier quoted and the RSA was missing from it the salesperson informed me that they have some issues with the RSA provider. After so much hassle, I took the bike and took it to my home. 0 stars to Settlar Motors and 0 stars to the salesperson as well. 2. Riding Experience - 4 stars. Riding this machine is fun. Not smooth till 3rd gear but once the bike crosses the 4000 rpm it's a beast both in terms of speed and stability. if you looking for a daily commute and you are in city traffic you will be screwed in changing gears and at one time you will be pissed off. On highways, you will enjoy the stability and speed. 3. Looks and Performance - It is meant for crushing and off-road adventures. The looks are awesome and everyone will ask you about this bike. Performance is good but fuel efficiency is where there is a hole in your pocket 23 kmpl after the 3rd service. The service center for this bike is also one of the major issues. 2 service centers but very far away. 1 was closed. The parts availability is a major challenge. The service center that Stellar Motors owned was closed which was located in Science City Kolkata. The team was not as good as they should be not professional every time the manager changed tye number changes. 2 people were good and looked after your problem if you faced any. 4. Service and Maintenance - The brand offers you four services. First at 1000 km Second at 6000km 3rd at 12000 and Fourth at 18000km. The service charges are a bit more expensive than normal bikes but if you buy. A serious problem I missed informing you guys of basically two problems - 1. Rust issue - The bike will start rusting and the brand does not offer any help it's not with me it's with every owner who purchased this bike. Serious Heating issue - The brand placed the radiator fans in such a way that you can feel the serious heat waves on your right leg. It never goes off so it means you cannot ride it with slippers in the summer. Pros - Massive Road Presence and commanding Driving Position. Full Points for Big Bike feel Punchy Engine with loads of grunt. The rev-happy motor is always ready to dart forward. Exceptional handling. Can easily flick around and close gaps in traffic All metal built. No plastic/minimal plastic Braking & ABS Modes. These are ABS modes only and do not alter engine characteristics. It gets 3 modes - Road - the default setting, Rain - ABS kicks in early and is more sensitive & Off-Road - turns off rear wheel ABS. Hazard Lights Suspension - being an ADV, this is kind of a no-brainer to list here but hey, I am in love. Cons - Rear View Mirrors are oddly shaped and visibility is limited. It is usable but could do better At 210 kgs, this isn't light. Could be a deterrent for some. I cannot for the life of me move around this hunk without being seated on it. Speedo console utilization could have been better. Lots of empty spaces are found. While it doesn't look bad, it could have been properly used. The connecting app is also not the smoothest and/or polished. Some vibrations do creep in at the top end. Overall refinement levels could be a notch higher. The infamous paint quality issues. Heating Issue, Rusting issue, Parts availability, Service Center Issue.
