Says Bollywood's biker king John Abraham about his favourite mean machine

Bipasha Basu may make millions of hearts throb with her sultry look but when it comes to beau John Abraham, she loses out to a pair of hot wheels.


The actor-biker loves his Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle so much that he doesn't want to share a ride even with Bipasha. In Delhi to attend a biking event, the hunk didn't hesitate to reveal that he prefers his bike to Bips.





"Once I was taking Bipasha for a ride. Suddenly, I heard a squeaking sound and noticed her rings were rubbing against the tank of my bike. I asked her to sit properly as her rings could leave scratches on my 1,300-CC superbike.

Then I noticed her shoes were chafing against the bike's exhaust. Again I objected.u00a0 She obeyed me every time. But as I started the bike, I again objected over her helmet hitting mine. She couldn't tolerate my objections anymore. She immediately took a taxi and went off. Since then, I have been driving alone," said John.

The actor was attending the finals of the Castrol Power 1 Passion Hunt, an all-India biking competition. He presented the grand prize a Yamaha R1 superbike to the winner. And in between he regaled the audience with biking tales.

"I started working at a monthly salary of Rs 13,800. I used to live meagerly so that I could save to buy the Kawasaki Ninja. Today, I have a Suzuki Hayabusa, a Yamaha R1, a Ninja and will like to add the Kawasaki ZZR 1,400 and MV Augusta to my bike collection," said the actor.u00a0u00a0u00a0

John also stressed on establishing a professional biking school in India to promote safe riding. He said, "I have been held responsible for promoting rash-driving and bike-racing since Dhoom was released. Bikers are always known as bad boys. So, we should promote safe and responsible biking."

u00a0John also promised a ride to the Delhi Super bikers, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts from the Capital.
