In the opening sequence Bond rides the motorcycle through the streets and on the rooftops of the city of Istanbul, Turkey. In typical 007 style the chase segment is fast and furious.

The film supposedly used 25 of the Honda CRF250Rs in various configurations for the production of the scenes. The CRF250R is a dirt bike. The obvious modifications that the filmmakers made to the motorcycles for stylistic purposes for the film were to add headlights, taillights, signal lights, windscreens, hand guards and tank modifications. Honda does produce a dual sport version of the CRF250 which is called the Honda CRF250L.

Don`t start getting carried away Mark :mchappy:

At least they have reverted to what James Bond is all about. I saw the film yesterday and really enjoyed it. I am not giving anything away but the rear view of the new miss Moneypenny is one of the reasons I will be buying the DVD. :thumbup1:

At least it's not yet another BMW product placement.

Honda had two of the bikes out of the film on their stand at the Dirt Bike Show yesterday.
