BSA Thunderbolt 350 ADV Confirmed? Classic Legends Plans 4 New Launches by 2027

Classic Legends is planning to launch four new motorcycles by March 2027 in the Indian market. The company has recently introduced the updated Yezdi Scrambler and the BSA Scrambler 650 motorcycles, further strengthening its portfolio.

Classic Legends To Bring More BSA, Jawa and Yezdi Models

Mahindra-owned Classic Legends is currently retailing motorcycles under the Jawa, Yezdi and BSA brands in India. It competes in the highly competitive retro motorcycle segment against established players like Royal Enfield, Triumph Motorcycles, and Honda.

The brand already has a strong presence in the 350cc and 650cc segments with motorcycles such as the Jawa 42, Yezdi Roadster, Yezdi Scrambler, Jawa Perak, and BSA Goldstar 650. The recent GST 2.0 regulations have reduced costs for motorcycles below 350cc, making the premium retro segment more attractive to buyers.

Looking at the growing market potential, Classic Legends has introduced the BSA Scrambler 650 along with the updated 350cc Yezdi Scrambler. The company is now aiming to further expand its lineup with multiple new launches planned by March 2027.

BSA Thunderbolt 350 ADV

The first model is likely to be the Thunderbolt 350 adventure motorcycle, which will rival models such as the TVS Apache RTX 300, KTM 250 Adventure, Yezdi Adventure, and the Suzuki V-Strom SX.

It made its debut at the EICMA 2025, and the Thunderbolt nameplate carries strong legacy value from the 1970s. After nearly 50 years, the Thunderbolt 350 is set to return as a modern adventure tourer. This will be the first adventure motorcycle from the BSA brand in India in the modern era.

The Thunderbolt 350 is expected to offer strong on-road and off-road capabilities. It will likely be powered by the same 334cc single-cylinder DOHC liquid-cooled engine. Some of its key highlights are expected to include USD forks, monoshock suspension, a slipper and assist clutch, three ABS modes, traction control, an adjustable windshield, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, USB charging, a large 15.5-litre fuel tank, and a durable chassis.

BSA Bantam 350

The next model could be the BSA Bantam 350, a roadster-style motorcycle similar to the Yezdi Roadster. It is also expected to use the same 334cc engine but will feature a single-side exhaust, helping reduce weight and improve overall riding dynamics.

We also expect Classic Legends to introduce updated Jawa 42 and Yezdi Roadster motorcycles within this year. Expanding the portfolio, allows the brand to offer more variety and choice to customers, while these updates will help refresh the lineup and attract new buyers.
