Tej Pratap Yadav, leader of the Jan Shakti Janata Dal (JJD), shared a video on Instagram on Tuesday showing himself riding a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R on the streets of Patna, Bihar. Calling it his “favourite bike”, the politician said the supersport motorcycle remains close to his heart.
In the post, Yadav said he had returned to riding after a long break and described the experience as exciting, bringing back old memories. The video shows him on the green Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, which he reportedly bought in 2025.
Yadav captioned the video, “MY FAVOURITE BIKE, MY STYLE, MY SWAG!” He said that going around the streets of Patna had brought him a fresh sense of excitement and freedom.
He added that motorcycling was not just his hobby, but a passion and a way of life. The video was posted on his official Instagram page and has attracted attention from social media users.
The ZX-6R is a supersport motorcycle powered by a 636 cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four-cylinder engine. The motor generates 127 hp and is mated to a transmission with a quickshifter for quicker gear shifts.
The motorcycle gets dual 310 mm semi-floating front disc brakes and a 220 mm rear disc brake. These are designed to offer effective braking during high-speed riding.
The Ninja ZX-6R has four riding modes – Sport, Road, Rain and Rider. It also includes three levels of traction control, two-channel ABS and Intelligent Braking System. Other equipment includes a 4.3-inch TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity. The advantages of these features are that the rider can fine-tune the motorcycle’s power based on the road and riding conditions.
The ZX-6R is available in India for ₹12.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The final on-road price varies by city and applicable charges.
