Paying more than $10k for a mid-70s Honda CB450 – even a new one in a crate – isn’t a good investment unless that particular bike was once owned by Steve McQueen.

According to*Julien’s Auctions, a company specializing in Hollywood memorabilia, this weekend’s*Hollywood Legends*auction in Los Angeles stars nonother than McQueen’s 1972 Honda CB450. The fairly run-of-the-mill Honda is expected to sell for $50,000 to $70,000 (four $50k bids have already been submitted) – making it the world’s most expensive Honda CB450.

The bike was given to McQueen’s Solar Productions film company in August 1972 by Honda Motor Co.*and was featured in Honda commercials of the day with McQueen aboard.

Another Hollywood special is a 50cc Johnny Pag*‘Pagsta’ chopper*estimated at $8000-$10,000. The significance of this particular 2003 chopper is ownership by Easy Rider star, Dennis Hopper.

Third and finally is a 2015 Yamaha YZ450F used in the 2015 movie*Point Break estimated at $6000-$8000.
