Indian automotive giant Mahindra’s Classic Legends retro motorcycle subsidiary is reportedly set to invest up to £100m over the next three years, to leverage its BSA, Jawa and Yezdi throw-back brands with broader petrol-engined range offerings.
Classic Legends is also working on a purely electric motorcycle prototype in conjunction with the University of Warwick, destined for UK, European and other developed markets. This model is targeted for launch in 2024 and the company claims that it will be the most affordable electric motorcycle in its segment. Whether the battery cases on the new bike will be wearing a BSA or a Jawa badge is as yet unclear.
