The Yezdi Roadking 1978 was a robust two-stroke motorcycle manufactured by Ideal Jawa Ltd., Mysore, and was based on the CZ 250 motocross bike from Czechoslovakia. It had a 247 cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that produced about 16 horsepower. It was connected to a 4-speed gearbox with a special dual-shift lever, which doubled as a gear lever and a kick-starter. With a flat seat, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and little bodywork, the design was muscular but simple, prioritising utility above showmanship. The fuel tank and side panels were composed of pressed steel, and the frame was a double cradle of tubular steel for strength and rigidity. Weight was decreased by using an aluminium alloy for the engine housing and hubs. It featured two 16-inch spoked wheels with drum brakes, telescopic front forks, and twin hydraulic rear shock absorbers. The exhaust had a unique note thanks to its recognisable dual silencers. The Roadking gained popularity among enthusiasts, rally riders, and even the military because of its dependability, exceptional off-road capabilities, and durability.
