Check Out MS Dhoni's Bikes and Cars Collections!
It is a well known fact that the captain of the Indian Cricket Team is a bike lover. According to reports, his bike collection consists of around 23 bikes. This includes classics, superbikes, and some exotics as well. When it comes to cars, the world cup winning captain’s collection pales in comparison to his bike collection. But there are still a few interesting specimens in his garage. We did some digging and managed to unearth a list of bikes and cars of MS Dhoni.
BIKES
Norton Jubilee 250
The second vintage bike in MS Dhoni Cars and Bikes collection is the Norton Jubilee 250. The cricketer shared a picture on Instagram of his bike. As the name suggests, it draws power from a 250cc engine. BSA Goldstar
One of the two classic motorcycles in MS Dhoni’s bike collection is the BSA Goldstar. It was one of the first British Motorcycles to breach the 100 km/h mark. It draws power from a 500cc engine. Here is a picture of MS Dhoni astride his BSA Goldstar.
Yamaha Thundercat
This is one perhaps one of the most famous sports tourers of its time. The Yamaha Thundercat or YZF600R was manufactured between 1996 and 2007. It came with a 599 cc engine that made around 88 bhp.
More than a year back, Dhoni put up a picture on Instagram of a Suzuki Shogun with the caption, “How many of u agree this was 1 of the most exciting 2stroke single cylinder bikes to ride,need to restore mine quickly.” We have not see the final result of the restoration anywhere.
Yamaha RD350
The Yamaha RD350 or Rajdoot has a cult following in India. And like any bike lover, Dhoni is a fan too. Apparently, the RD350 was the first bike he bought. Following years of neglect, the bike ended up looking like this. However, he has now completely restored the bike. Also, this isn’t the only RD350 in his possession.
Ducati 1098
Finding a place in MS Dhoni’s bike garage is the Ducati 1098. The 1098 was sold from 2007-2008 internationally and was also available in India. At the time, it was on sale for around 25-30 lakhs. The 1099 cc engine that powers the bike makes around 160 hp. It was succeeded by the Ducati 1198.
Harley Davidson FatBoy
Next up on our list of the MS Dhoni Cars and Bikes is the Harley Davidson Fatboy. This cruiser can be bought in India for a little over 17 lakhs. It comes with a 1690 cc engine that makes 65 bhp. Dhoni has been spotted riding around Ranchi on this one on numerous occasions.
MS Dhoni’s love for bike bikes continues with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R. It gets 4 cylinder 1441 cc engine that puts out 197.39 bhp of maximum power. It boasts a top speed of 335 km/h! The bike is available in India at Rs. 16.80 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The ZX-14R is the saner of the two Ninjas Mahendra Singh Dhoni owns.
This is probably one of the rarest bikes in the world as only 150 exist. MS Dhoni is the only South East Asian customer to own one of these crazy machines. Other owners include A-Listers such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, David Beckham and Ryan Reynolds. The Hellcat draws power from a 2.2 L V-Twin that churns out 132 hp and 200 Nm. Dhoni took his bike for a spin at the Buddh International Circuit too.
Kawasaki Ninja H2. It gets 998 cc 4 cylinder engine that benefits from supercharging. Maximum power output stands at 200 hp @ 11000 rpm and peak torque at 134 Nm @ 10500 rpm. Dhoni bought the bike earlier this year. The 2017 model Kawasaki Ninja H2 is on sale in India for Rs. 33.30 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
