John Abraham acquires a new set of wheels

John Abraham's Rajputana Customs Bike

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.
