Manju Warrier is one of the very popular actresses in the Malayalam film industry. Last year, she bought herself a brand-new ride. It was not a car but an adventure tourer motorcycle from BMW. She bought a BMW R1250 GS motorcycle, which costs around Rs 23 lakh, ex-showroom. The actress has been using the bike frequently, and we often come across videos and images of her posing with the bike. The actress has now shared a few pictures online indicating that Manju Warrier took her R1250 GS off-road.
The images have been shared by Manju Warrier on her Instagram page. The images have been posted with a caption, “Falling. Mudding. And still learning… Thanks for the fun company! @bineeshchandra @ambro_46” The actress bought the bike last year, and it looks like she is now comfortable riding it on the road.
She is probably trying to learn how to ride this bike off-road, and as part of this, she fell down a couple of times. If you look carefully at the pictures, you can see that the crash guard and the engine cover of the bike have mud on them. This is a good indication that the actress probably fell while riding it off-road.
The actress is wearing proper riding gear, which helps the rider a lot in case of an accident like this. Falling from the bike is quite normal, especially when you are learning how to ride off-road. The comment section of the video is filled with comments sharing how Manju has become an inspiration to many.
Coming to the bike, the BMW R1250 GS is an adventure tourer motorcycle powered by a 1245-cc, twin-cylinder boxer engine that generates 134 Bhp at 7,750 rpm and 143 Nm of peak torque at 6250 rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox. There is a story about how she got her interest in bikes.
The actress always had a love for motorcycles. It was only at the age of 44 that she got a driving license for geared motorcycles or two-wheelers. During the shoot of one of her recent movies in Tamil, she went for a bike ride with actor Ajith Kumar.
That trip influenced her a lot in making this decision. Manju Warrier and Ajith Kumar went on a bike trip in the mountains last year, and after returning from the trip, Manju Warrier became a huge fan of motorcycles and decided to buy one for herself.
After buying the bike, Manju Warrier is often seen on the road riding it with other actors. A few months after buying the bike, Manju Warrier posted images from the streets of Kochi where actor and director Soubin Shahir and Manju Warrier took their adventure motorcycles for a late-night spin.
Actor Soubin Shahir had also bought a BMW R1250 GS Trophy Edition motorcycle during the same time. There are many actresses in the Malayalam film industry who ride motorcycles; however, Manju Warrier is probably the only actress to own an expensive motorcycle like this. Other than the BMW R1250 GS, Manju also owns a Mini Cooper SE. She was one of the first customers of this electric Mini in Kerala. She also owns a humble Maruti Baleno and a Range Rover luxury SUV.
