Update on Jay Leno's VMAX Charity Auction

Leno's bike, a 2009 Yamaha/Star VMAX Custom, went for US$120,000 at the Barrett-Jackson classic auto auction in Las Vegas. That is a huge sum of money which will go to a Brooklyn, New York, charity "Bailey's Café", which is an arts charity benefiting at-risk youth. Barret-Jackson even waived the buyer's and seller's fees for the VMAX. That's some very positive news for all of us to be happy about...

Jay Leno Donates His Yamaha / Star VMAX for Bailey's Café

Jay Leno will make an appearance in Las Vegas at the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction on 10 October 2009. He will be there to sell his customized (for the sale) Star VMAX. All proceeds will go to Bailey's Café, an arts-based education program in New York. Wow, I will try to find a photo, but I am sure you can also watch it on TV in HD - check your local listings (USA).

I am not sure if this is how the 'Leno' VMAX looks now, but the paint is custom as it is only available in black now - the 2010 will start arriving in December and it is red.
