Watch: MS Dhoni Struggles With His Yamaha RD350

Viral video shows Captain Cool repeatedly trying to kickstart the two-stroker

We all know of Captain Cool’s affection for two-wheelers. From humble commuters to big thumping cruisers, MS Dhoni has it all. He also has a soft corner for iconic two-stroke braapsters like the Yamaha RD350, RX135 and RX100, with some of them even serving as his daily ride.

MSD is someone who does not hold back on the upkeep of all his prized two-wheeled possessions, having restored a couple of Yamaha RD350’s to their full glory. However, despite all this, these old-school motorcycles are challenging to live with, and here’s a video of MS Dhoni struggling to start his RD350.

In this video that’s garnered over 16 lakh views on YouTube, the former Indian cricketer can be seen kick-starting his Yamaha RD350 numerous times, only for the bike to render all his effort futile. Luckily for him, the bike broke down inside the premises of his Ranchi farmhouse, thus allowing the cricket to get the bike going again without being swarmed by his fans.

One note though: In this video, we can see the camera guy capturing all of Dhoni’s efforts through his gate, despite the security trying his best to protect Captain Cool’s privacy. Team BikeDekho does not condone such invasion of privacy, and would appeal to fans to respect their idols by drawing certain boundaries.
