When it comes to Bollywood and bikes, there is only one name that comes to mind: the Dhoom movie actor John Abraham. He is a big-time bike enthusiast and collector. He owns several expensive sports bikes in his garage. He is an avid biker, and his love for bikes is well known among celebrities in the industry. If you are a regular reader on our website, you might remember that last year John Abraham got himself a brand-new, current-generation Suzuki Hayabusa superbike. In a recent television interview, John revealed that the bike was a gift from actor Shahrukh Khan.
The video was shared by Cars For You on their YouTube channel. In this video, the vlogger mentions that John Abraham, in one of the television interviews he attended as part of the promotion of his upcoming movie “Vedaa,” spoke about his love for motorcycles, and it was then that he mentioned his Hayabusa.
We all know that he was part of the blockbuster movie Pathaan, which was released last year. John Abraham acted alongside superstar Shahrukh Khan in this movie. The movie performed well in theaters, and as part of the success celebration, Shahrukh Khan arranged a party. John Abraham, who is a fitness enthusiast, told Shahrukh Khan that he is not interested in late-night parties as he usually goes to bed early.
It was then that Shahrukh Khan asked whether John would like to have a gift. John replied that he wouldn’t mind adding another bike to his garage. It was then that Shahrukh Khan decided to gift him a Suzuki Hayabusa.
John was the actor who, in fact, made the Hayabusa popular in the Indian market. Since then, he has been updating his garage with the latest models.
The 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa is already officially available in the Indian market and is priced at Rs 16.91 lakh, ex-showroom. The design of the current-generation Hayabusa is an evolution from the older version. It is powered by a 1,340cc, in-line four-cylinder engine. The liquid-cooled engine produces a maximum power of 190 PS and a peak torque of 150 Nm. The bike also comes with an array of electronic aids and features.
We have seen John Abraham’s new Hayabusa superbike in several videos in the past. He got the bike in the Metallic Mat Sword and Candy Daring Red shades.
The Hayabusa is imported and sold in India as a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) unit, meaning it comes in special packaging. The parts are imported and then assembled in India at Suzuki India’s Gurugram plant.
