Shahid buys latest Yamaha bike after parents' permission


Shahid Kapoor gifted himself a bike last week... but only after his parents gave him permission to




Bike lover

Says Shahid's friend, "Shahid loves biking. When he was shooting with Ahmed Khan for Ishq Vishk Pyar Vyar, Shahid would often go with him on long bike rides along the Western Express highway.

Though he longed for a bike of his own, his parents Pankaj Kapoor and Neelima Azeem were against it as they felt it was unsafe.

Shahid has always been a dutiful son, so he squashed his biking dreams and got busy with his work till last year when he missed his bike rides again."

Finally, his parents gave him permission last month to buy a bike. He has assured his parents that he will drive safely. Last week, Shahid bought the latest Yamaha MT-01.

Shahid's bike is a midnight-black, air-cooled, sportsbike with high torque speed and 1670cc machine, costing around Rs 15 lakh. His friend informs, "It's the first time he's sporting such a cool bike. Shahid chose black as he doesn't like anything bright, flashy and over-the-top but rather classy, understated and subtle stuff.

Shahid is very possessive about his new bike and insists on cleaning it himself. He loves biking especially at night or for going for film shoots. Last week, Shahid rode to Indigo on his new bike for dinner with Ahmed Khan and his wife Saira and to Chembur for the shoot of Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminay in the morning."

Shahid Kapoor says, "I love bikes and getting my own bike was my own way of beating traffic. It helps me get faster to shoots. I am perpetually running late in traffic and my bike helps me get there sooner."
