Honda in the UK has donated the motorcycle used in the chase scene of the latest Bond movie, Skyfall, to the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Children in Need charity. The specially modified CRF250R will be auctioned off to raise funds for the popular charity.

Skyfall is the 23rd installment of the Bond series and features Daniel Craig, in dapper attire, chasing villains through the markets and over the rooftops of Istanbul, Turkey. The movie’s special-effects team customized two bikes; one to resemble a police motorcycle and this one, that Bond seizes from a Turkish merchant.

Bidding closes at midnight, Thursday, November 22nd and the time of this article, the price had risen to £101,400. All of the money for the sale goes to the charity. To place your bid, click here for the ebay listing and get your chance at a unique Bond collectible.
