Honda Donates Three Repsol CBR1000RRs to Benefit Ride for Kids
The Ride for Kids is fast approaching, and Honda continued its long-running support of the charity as presenting sponsor. It’s going a step further by donating of three Repsol CBR1000RR sportbikes to an auction to raise funds to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Read the press release below for more information.
To celebrate its 30th year as presenting sponsor of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation?s Ride for Kids, American Honda is donating three Repsol-edition CBR1000RR sportbikes from its private collection, to be auctioned through Iconic Motorbikes. The auction will run September 3-10, with all proceeds going to the PBTF. The amount raised will be announced during Ride for Kids, which takes place September 12.
In selected model years, American Honda has imported the CBR1000RR in special Repsol graphics as a tribute to the factory Honda MotoGP team, for whom the global multi-energy company has been the title sponsor since 1994. That relationship has produced 15 MotoGP Rider World Championships, via Mick Doohan, Alex Criville, Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden, Casey Stoner, and Marc Marquez.
The CBR1000RR was initially offered in 2004, replacing the CBR954RR, and the inaugural special-edition Repsol version came the following year. The 2007 Repsol Honda CBR1000RR came just after Nicky Hayden?s 2006 MotoGP title. The 2009 special edition of the CBR1000RR is the only generation 2 version, following the model?s 2008 overhaul.
