The Rajdoot 350 was a two-stroke motorcycle made in India by Escorts group from 1983 to 1990. It was a licenced copy of the very popular Yamaha RD350B, modified to suit Indian conditions. Many Indian motorcycle connoisseurs consider it to be the best two-stroke ever made in India. Even though the production of the aircooled Yamaha RD350 had ended in Japan in the mid 1970s due to stringent emissions norms, it was a technically advanced motorcycle in the Indian market in 1983. It had 7-port two stroke parallel twin engine, Yamaha's patented Torque Induction system using reed valves, 6-speed transmission, Autolube system, mechanical tachometer,12V electrics and 0-60km/h in less than 4 seconds. In the interest of cost, the front disc brake of the RD350B was substituted with a 7" Twin leading shoe drum brake from the Yamaha RD250.
