The motorcycle division of Escorts Group used to manufacture motorcycles under the brand name Rajdoot from the early 1960s until 2005. In the early 1980s, Escorts started making Yamaha motorcycles in India. The Rajdoot 350 was launched in 1983, which was later followed by the Yamaha RX 100 in 1985.
