Bono's bike up for auction
Bono's motorbike will be going under the hammer at a charity auction in December.
The red Ducati 916 was previously owned by the late INXS singer Michael Hutchence as well as U2 bass player Adam Clayton.
It will be auctioned at the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show at the Birmingham NEC on December 2.
The proceeds will go to Riders For Health, which provides vehicles and safety training for healthcare workers in Africa.
Riders For Health chief executive Andrea Coleman said: "Bono's commitment to Africa and his support for those living in poverty and ill-health is well-known.
"For us at Riders For Health, reaching those people in rural Africa is our focus and is a major challenge. Riders For Health knows that you can't save a child unless you can reach her.
She added: "Bono's support for our work is valued highly and we thank him."
The U2 singer and activist has dedicated the bike to Hutchence, signing the fuel tank: "To Michael, Bono".
