What does John Abraham’s bike collection tell us about him?
If you look at John’s bike collection, he’s a fan of fast sports bikes. There are no ADVs or naked motorcycles in John’s garage and I think it’s because being an actor, John doesn’t have time to go on long rides.
John is the kind of biker who loves to slip into his leathers and go riding in the quiet of the night.
And for that, he has a great lineup of superbikes.
John Abraham has always been a die-hard rider.
If you think John’s love for motorcycling started after the Dhoom series, you’re probably wrong. John has been fond of riding ever since he was a young teenager.
His first motorcycle was a second hand Yamaha RD 350 which he refers to as his “first love”.
After that, he kept moving to different bikes. He bought the Royal Enfield Bullet, then Kawasaki X11 D2, Hayabusa, Kawasaki ZX 12 R, Yamaha R1, Yamaha VMAX, GSX 1000 RR and so on…And today, John Abraham has an exciting collection of bikes that collectively cost more than a crore.
