Celebrities from different segments have been known for their love for automobiles. While celebrities' love for luxury cars comes to the news often, a politician owning a motorcycle doesn't make that much noise. However, in this case, Gandhi's comment comes as a surprising one, considering that KTM is a brand that is highly appealing to the young generation buyers.

The video reveals that Rahul Gandhi's security protocol doesn't allow him to ride the KTM 390 motorcycle. This is why the high-performance motorcycle remains parked unused. "I have a KTM390 but it's lying unused because my security people don't let me use it," Gandhi said. However, he didn't mention the exact variant of the KTM 390. The Austrian high-performance motorcycle manufacturer which has a business tie-up with Bajaj Auto in India, sells 390 Duke and RC 390 and 390 Adventure in the country, which are naked, supersport and adventure tourer by category, respectively.
