John Abraham, known for films like Force, Madras Café, Batla House, and Pathaan, has always stood out for his screen presence. But beyond films, another passion defines him just as strongly: motorcycles. Recently, that love came full circle when a fan surprised the actor with a functional scale model of a Suzuki Hayabusa.
A viral moment with a fan
In the now-viral video, John Abraham is seen closely inspecting the miniature Suzuki Hayabusa. His excitement is unmistakable. The model is no ordinary showpiece—it comes with a real engine and a working exhaust. Clearly impressed, John reacts with childlike curiosity, asking his fan, “Can I ride it?” He then adds playfully, “Can I sit on it?” The people around burst into laughter. The exchange feels genuine and unscripted.

The special bond with ‘Dhoom’
The gift carries emotional weight. John Abraham’s association with the Suzuki Hayabusa dates back to Dhoom. His sleek biker avatar in the film turned the motorcycle into a cultural icon in India. For many fans, that image sparked a lifelong fascination with superbikes. Seeing him react to a Hayabusa again brings back that iconic era.
What makes the Hayabusa iconic
The name Hayabusa comes from Japanese and means peregrine falcon, the fastest bird in the world.
The bike earned fame as the world’s fastest motorcycle after its launch in 1999. Its speed was so formidable that manufacturers later agreed to electronically cap top speeds at 300 km/h. In India, the Suzuki Hayabusa is priced at around Rs 18.06 lakh.
