Kamandalam Bobber by Nilkantha Motorcycles (Based on 1986 Escort Rajdoot)

Kamandalam Bobber by Nilkantha Motorcycles: A motorcycle is more than just a machine for many in India. It’s a perfect partner to live decades of your life on new journeys, exploring new possibilities every time you go on a ride.

This typical 1986 Rajdoot Bobber from Nilkantha Motorcycles is an example of age being just another number, flashing its extraordinary stance through an Orange fuel tank and rear fender.

Those who are not familiar with this name, it is a licensed copy of international spec Yamaha RD 350B for India. Escorts group used to manufacture the same between 1983-1989. The stock Rajdoot weighs 155 kg while Bobber must have lost a lot of weight with no additional part.

The low power version (made from 1985-1989) is good for 27 BHP from its 2-stroke, twin cylinder, 347cc engine. The one used here is perfectly finished in Matt Black for that mean look. The black rim has chrome spokes while tyres at both the ends are all new for better road grip.

Rear comes with a LED strip for brake light while diamond quilted seat looks perfect on the motorcycle. The biggest change was made to the front where standard telescopic forks were replaced with a custom unit from even older models.

The headlight on this motorcycle is also highly vintage inspired. Fans will also notice a single pod chrome plated instrument console on this Rajdoot Bobber. Exposed, black powder coated frame looks really impressive on the motorcycle’s profile.

Yamaha RD350 was the most impressive motorcycle of its time. As it serves as the base for Rajdoot during that period, knowing its specifications is actually equally important.

A bike with just 143 kg of dry weight, RD350 was good for 39 BHP at 7500 rpm and 37.2 Nm at 7000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This makes it even more powerful than a modern spec R3 on paper. Yamaha RD 350 claimed 169 kmph of top speed.
