A custom motorcycle called the 'Dark Rider,' built in collaboration with the Sonic X Shadow Generations game, will go under the hammer at Bonhams' Autumn Stafford Sale. Built on a Bourget frame with a 1,750cc S&S engine and set up purely for static display, all proceeds go to the Luca Guintoli Foundation, which supports children with cancer or autism. Estimate: £10,000-15,000.

A Shadow the Hedgehog-themed custom built on a Bourget frame, with every dollar going to charity — that gets me. A 1,750cc S&S engine, 280kg of bike, built purely for static display and unapologetic about it. It's the kind of build that's judged by who's looking at it. What matters most is that the proceeds reach the Guintoli Foundation.

Nice that they included the actual auction date.

First time hearing of Bourget as a builder.

US custom builder known for pretty distinctive frames.

Static display only, kind of a shame it can't actually be ridden.

Fair, but £10-15k seems like a reasonable estimate for this.

All proceeds to charity makes me want to genuinely support this.

A Shadow the Hedgehog custom, this is exactly my thing.
