Kohlapur-based business tycoon and founder of Star Air, Sanjay Ghodawat is well known for his taste in cars and expansive car collection. Earlier this year, he made headlines by purchasing not one, but three Rolls-Royce cars on a single day. He also owns various models from manufacturers like BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, Jaguar, Porsche, and Audi. Interestingly, his garage is not exclusive to cars and SUVs. Ghodawat also has an impressive collection of superbikes. The billionaire recently shared a video on his Instagram handle that shows him riding a BMW S100 RR and talking about his passion for motorcycling.
The businessman has a large collection of superbikes. In the video, the host asks him why he keeps it alongside the expansive collection of cars and SUVs. Ghodawat replies with the classic line, ‘ Four wheels move the body, two move the soul’ and goes on to say that it has been his childhood dream to own fast, exciting motorcycles. There is a thrill in motorcycling, as it keeps you connected to the nature around. He says that he now owns some of the finest and most exciting motorcycles in the world.
Sanjay then explains how his passion for two-wheelers began. In school, he used to own a Luna- his first two-wheeler. He used to race with it. Later, he upgraded to Hero Honda CD100. On a philosophical note, he says that life is like riding a bike. The front wheel symbolizes hard work, and the one at the rear stands for discipline. The hack is to keep both balanced and move forward.
In another video shared on YouTube, we can see a part of Sanjay Ghodawat’s bike collection. This video was captured in 2017-18. His present collection may thus be different. In it, we can see litre-class models from brands like Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, BMW Motorrad, Triumph, and more. The collection consisted of faired, naked, and cruiser bikes.
The video shows models like an older generation Yamaha R1, Honda CBR 1000RR Repsol, Indian Roadmaster, Honda VT1300CX, BMW S1000RR (the same bike that’s shown in the Instagram video), Honda Valkyre Rune, Yamaha MT-01, Aprilia Dorsoduro, Suzuki Intruder, Ducati Multistrada, Kawasaki Z1000, Honda Goldwing GL1800, Harley Davidson V Rod, Triumph Rocket III, Street Triple, Yamaha VMAX, BMW K1300R, and Moto Guzzi California 1400. Interestingly, the collection also has budget models like Honda CBR 250.
Another Instagram video gives a quick tour of his car collection. In it, we can see a Lexus LX 500d, Jaguar XF, new Bentley Flying Spur, two Range Rovers, Mercedes S Class, Rolls Royce Cullinan Series II, Bentley Bentayga, Land Cruiser, Maybach S Class, and more. These are all owned by the Ghodawat family. The Rolls-Royce Spectre and Ghost Series II aren’t shown in this clip.
In September last year, Sanjay Ghodawat shared images of him taking delivery of three Rolls Royces on social media. These showed him at what looks like the parking of a luxury hotel. Three Rolls Royce cars- a Cullinan Series II finished i Iguazu Blue, a Ghost Series II wearing Bohemian Red, and a Spectre finished in Imperial Jade colour- are seen parked nearby.
The Spectre is the first electric car from Rolls-Royce and was launched in January 2024. It has an ex-showroom price of Rs 7.5 crores for the standard model (before options). Ghodawat seems to be one of the early adopters of this EV. The Ghost Series II’s ex-showroom price is Rs 8.95 Crores, and the Series II Cullinan has an ex-showroom starting price of Rs 10.50 lakh.
