Everything actor Shah Rukh Khan does makes news and we are more interested when the star is surrounded by wheels. Be it his time as a brand ambassador for an automaker or when he's pulling off high-octane action-packed stunts in front of the camera, his fans are eagerly watching. So, when we came across this viral video of SRK with actor Kartik Aryan, we couldn't help but pay close attention to what the former was doing, checking out the Honda CB500X. So, no wonder, we had to write about it.
The video has been a hit with SRK fans on Instagram shows Khan chatting up with Aryan and then paying attention towards the Honda CB500X. It's unclear if the actor planned to ride it or not but she surely seemed playful around the motorcycle. You can check out the complete video below.
Honda's most accessible premium adventure motorcycle, the CB500X is a 500 cc adventure tourer and comes to India as a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kit. The bike is available in two colours - Grand Prix Red - as seen in the video and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic. The adventure tourer takes design cues from the Honda Africa Twin, with rugged lines and an aggressive stance. It features full-LED lighting, 181 mm of ground clearance, an assist and slipper clutch, and more.
The Honda CB500X is powered by a 471 cc, 8-valve, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine tuned for 47 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 43.2 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Suspension duties are handled by a long-stroke 41 mm forks and a Honda Pro-Link rear suspension with 9-stage spring preload adjustment. Other mechanical bits include multi-spoke cast aluminium wheels with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear combination, dual disc brakes and dual-channel ABS. The bike also gets an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) as a safety feature.
On the work front, SRK is gearing up for a massive comeback to the big screen with at least confirmed movies lined up. This includes Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki, all slated for release in 2023. He also has cameo appearances in several projects through the year including the recently released film Rocketry. Meanwhile, Kartik Aryan is basking in the success of his last release Bhool Bhulaiya 2 and even received a McLaren GT from the film's producers to celebrate the hit. He will be seen next in Shehzada, which is due for release in February 2023.
