In Skyfall, James Bond rides a Honda CRF250R motorcycle during the Istanbul rooftop chase.
The sequence follows Bond and Eve Moneypenny as they pursue a stolen hard drive across Istanbul. Bond rides over rooftops and narrow tiled surfaces, eventually jumping between buildings in one of the film’s most prominent vehicle stunts.
The CRF250R is a lightweight motocross motorcycle rather than a road-focused sport bike. Its compact design and off-road suspension suited the stunt work, although the film’s chase presents it in a highly cinematic environment.
The motorcycle is sometimes mistaken for Honda’s larger CRF450R because both belong to the CRF motocross family. The production specifically associated Bond’s chase bike with the CRF250R.
