Since the poster of their upcoming movie “Shiv Shastri BALBOA” shows Anupam Kher riding the bike and Neena Gupta sitting on the pillion, the marketing team of the movie thought that it would be a good idea to involve Harley-Davidsons in real life to do the promotions.
Neena Gupta sat on the Harley Davidson 1200X Forty Eight while Anupam Kher took the pillion seat of the Softail Classic. Both of them took a ride for about 10 mins amidst the entourage of media, who were constantly taking pictures and making videos of the veteran actors.
The Harley Davidson Forty-Eight is powered by a massive 1,202 cc V-Twin engine that generates a maximum of 97 Nm. Harley Davidson never reveals the maximum power figures of their bikes. The Softail Classic comes with a 1,745 cc V-Twin engine that generates a maximum of 144 Nm.
There are many Bollywood celebrities who own expensive motorcycles. Many of them also own a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It sure is a popular bike but sadly Harley-Davidson left India due to dwindling sales.
