Actor John Abraham buys himself a Royal Enfield based board track racer

Bollywood heartthrob John Abraham has got himself a new set of wheels to add to the two existing superbikes in his garage namely the Yamaha YZF-R1 and Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa. The Mumbai-based actor has gone ahead and got himself a custom bike made by Jaipur-based custom bike firm Rajaputana Customs.

The design of the bike has been inspired by the American ‘Board Track Racer’ from 1910. The bike is the only one of its kind in the world and has been built to suit John’s taste and to his required specifications.

Vijay Singh, Rajputana Customs Co-Owner to Mid Day -

The bike we have built for John is an extension of his personality and taste. For instance, the bike is subtle, simplistic, and a complete stand-out much like John’s calm and uncomplicated demeanor but amazing presence

The design and specifications of the bike were discussed with John in great detail, as he is a great bike connoisseur and knows his machines very well inside out. The bike is a completely hand built masterpiece and took 50 days to complete. The price of John’s new customized ride has not been disclosed and is said to be extremely confidential.
