Bollywood star John Abraham, celebrated for his powerful performances in films like Force, Madras Café, Batla House, and Pathaan, has a well-known passion that rivals his love for acting: motorcycles. This passion recently led to a heartwarming and viral moment when an ardent fan presented him with an extraordinary gift.
A Viral Fan Interaction and a Special Gift
In a video that quickly spread across social media, John Abraham is seen being surprised by a fan with a meticulously crafted scale model of a Suzuki Hayabusa. The actor's genuine excitement is palpable as he inspects the miniature replica. What makes this model exceptional is that it is fully functional, equipped with a real engine and a working exhaust system.
Visibly impressed and filled with childlike wonder, John humorously asks the fan, "Can I ride it?" He follows up with another playful query, "Can I sit on it?" prompting laughter from everyone present. The entire exchange feels authentic and unscripted, showcasing a rare, candid moment between the star and his admirer.
The Emotional Echo of 'Dhoom'
This gift holds significant sentimental value for both the actor and his fans. John Abraham's association with the Suzuki Hayabusa is deeply rooted in Indian pop culture, dating back to the 2004 blockbuster Dhoom. His portrayal of a sleek, mysterious biker astride the powerful machine transformed the Hayabusa into an iconic symbol of speed and style in India.
For an entire generation, that image sparked a fascination with superbikes. Seeing John react with such joy to a Hayabusa, even in miniature form, instantly evokes nostalgia for that iconic cinematic era and solidifies his enduring connection with the motorcycle.
The Legend of the Suzuki Hayabusa
The Suzuki Hayabusa itself is a legend in the automotive world. Its name, derived from Japanese, means 'peregrine falcon', the world's fastest bird—a fitting title for a bike built for unparalleled speed. Upon its launch in 1999, it gained fame as the world's fastest production motorcycle.
Its capabilities were so formidable that it led to a voluntary agreement among manufacturers to electronically limit top speeds to 300 km/h. In the Indian market, the Suzuki Hayabusa commands a price of approximately Rs 18.06 lakh, cementing its status as a dream machine for enthusiasts.
John Abraham's Current Professional Endeavours

Looking ahead, the actor has an exciting lineup. He is set to appear in the film Tariq and will also star in the biopic of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria, which will be directed by Rohit Shetty.
