Kevin Windham Factory Connection Honda CRF450R ***New bidders please read last paragraph; non-paying 'winning' bidders will be turned over to eBay Resolution Dept. for action*** From the estate of Mike Owens, co-founder of the 'Legends & Heroes' motocross museum. In 2005 longtime Honda racer Kevin Windham rode for the Works Connection Racing team, sponsored by Sobe, Samsung & Amsoil. At times during the season, the bike was outfitted with limited-edition all-gold bodywork to celebrate Sobe's No Fear Gold energy drink. When the season ended, Works Connection retained ownership of the bike while the works American Honda engine, Showa suspension & Nissin brakes were returned to their respective factories per agreement. The bike's original, low-hours stock components replaced the works items, attached to the as-raced aluminum frame & billet Pro Circuit triple clamps. At the same time, Works Connection prepped the bike for exhibition, fitting unused gold bodywork, fresh gold-painted hubs and new gold-anodized Excel rims. The result is truly striking and has to be one of the best-looking motocross bikes of recent times. Mike Owens acquired the bike for his personal collection and for display in the 'Legends & Heroes' traveling museum. Kevin Windham attended the change-of-ownership ceremony and autographed the front number plate for Owens (see photos 7-10). Included in the sale is the original Manufacturers Certificate of Origin, transferring ownership of the bike from American Honda to Works Connection Racing, and verifying the bike's frame & engine numbers (photos 20-24). Also included (not shown in photos) is a matching gold work stand. Unstarted & unridden during Owens' ownership, the bike is located in Capistrano Beach, California, and is available for inspection by appointment. Sold on a bill of sale, no title.
