007 VEHICLE PREVIEW

Secret agent 007 has always taken his fans on thrilling rides as he pursues baddies around the globe. From the famous car scene in Fleming's Moonraker novel, to the Aston Martin models in the films, the Bond vehicles have become an extension of the character's uniform. Fans have enjoyed seeing original props from the films at the Bond in Motion exhibit, at the Designing Bond show at Barbican, and recently at ComiCon. Motortrend announced today that the upcoming James Bond film, Skyfall, will feature a chase scene atop Honda CRF250R motorcycles. Twenty Honda motorcycles were provided for the film, including two CRF450R bikes used to capture all the action with HD cameras.
