New Rajdoot Bike: Who doesn’t like to be nostalgic? The days we have already past, paved with so much memory we can’t forget. It can be an incident or something special. Even a bike can make someone nostalgic, like the Rajdoot bikes, one that throbbed hearts of all Indians, now a vintage one.
India’s Xcort and Japan’s Yamaha jointly launched Ambassador in India in 1983. The classic model Rajdoot GTS 175 created a stir as soon as it arrived in India. With a strong look and superb speed, this bike got the title of India’s first performance based bike with the arrival of the market. There is also an interesting anecdote behind the arrival of the ambassador in India.
It is said that when Germany was defeated in World War II, as compensation, it had to license the design of RT-125 to other countries. India was also in it and that is why it entered India. Ambassador was very much liked by customers due to his style and stability, low cost and less maintenance. In a few days, it became a status symbol. Those who rode the ambassador did not consider themselves less than the King. But it is said that one of someone’s downfalls comes. The same happened with the ambassador. The Ambassador’s glow faded after the arrival of the Enfield Silver Plus, mopeds and the Kinetic Spark. The company sensed this danger and immediately joined Bollywood.
The full name of this bike, which became famous as Ambassador, was Ambassador Excel T. Once considered a ride of pride on the roads of the country, this motorcycle has been present for more than 30 years. This bike was manufactured by a partnership of Xcort and Yamaha. After this, other Yamaha motorcycles also knocked in the country. Today the ambassador is mentioned because there is a discussion that once again this bike called the queen of the roads is ready to return. Although Xcort now produces only tractors and other commercial vehicles, now the news is that once again Ambassador is being prepared with new design and technology. But no official statement from the company about new Rajdoot bike.
