Explaining why Rahul Gandhi likes Yamaha RD350, he talks about the bike's power delivery. While talking about the addictive nature of the power delivery of the bike's two-stroke engine, he also mentions that the sudden release of power by the motorcycle can be dangerous too.

Getting deeper into the details, Rahul Gandhi likes the raw power delivery of the motorcycle, which gave out 70- bhp of power. In the video, he also talks about the Aprilia RS 205 two-strike motorcycle, which the political leader used to own in his college days.

Rahul Gandhi notes that he does not own a car and that all of the cars he has seen up to this point have been government vehicles provided for his use while speaking and expressing his love for two-wheelers. He also says that he doesn't drive much but that he used to drive his mother, Sonia Gandhi's Honda CR-V a few years ago.
