Bond Motorcycle To Be Auctioned For Charity

A Honda motorcycle used in the most recent James Bond film
"Skyfall" will be auctioned to benefit a children's charity in the
U.K.
Actor Daniel Craig rode the Honda CRF250R in the opening sequence
of "Skyfall," and the bike was one of two prominently featured in
the scene, with the other CRF250R designed to look like a police
bike. For the sale, the motorcycle accessories used to
make the Honda look like a street merchant's bike will be
included.
The auction, which closes on November 22, is expected to raise tens
of thousands of dollars for the charity, BBC Children in Need, The
Telegraph reports. The charity raises money for disadvantaged
children in order to maintain programs, activities and celebrity
involvement, according to Moto.
"We are very pleased to be able to support BBC Children in Need and
with such an exclusive, unique and exciting item," said Fiona Cole,
Honda's U.K. communications manager. "Original items such as this
are usually highly sought after and with the Bond films having
incredibly broad appeal, we hope that 007's 'street merchant' bike
will raise a significant amount of money and awareness for such an
invaluable cause."
