Electric off-road manufacturer Stark Future has launched a charity auction bringing together rare motorsport memorabilia to support MotoTerapia, an initiative that uses motorcycles to create meaningful experiences for people living with illness or disabilities.
Running from 3 to 17 April, the online auction features signed and one-of-a-kind items donated by some of the most recognisable names in global motorsport, from motocross and MotoGP to action sports. According to Stark, 100 percent of the proceeds will go directly to MotoTerapia, with no deductions.
The initiative is organised in collaboration with Spanish MotoTerapia ambassador Antonio Navas and builds on the work of the programme originally founded by Italian freestyle motocross rider Vanni Oddera.
MotoTerapia’s concept is simple but powerful: using motorcycles to create moments of freedom, connection and joy for patients who often have limited access to such experiences. Through adapted rides and demonstrations, participants can experience the sensation of riding and being part of the motorcycling world.
Memorabilia from motorsport icons
Among the highlights of the auction are several rare items linked to major moments in racing history.
James “Bubba” Stewart: Signed 2008 Championship Jersey (#7). From his perfect 24–0 AMA Pro Motocross season.
Travis Pastrana (TP199): One-of-a-kind, never-released Fox 180 Red Bull kit. A unique piece from one of action sports’ defining figures.
Travis Pastrana (TP199): Signed TP199 Alpinestars shirt. A direct link to one of the sport’s most influential partnerships.
Pol Espargaró: Race boots (2025 Malaysian GP) on a signed wooden plinth. Race-used MotoGP equipment from the highest level of competition.
Tony Cairoli (TC222): Fully signed kit from the nine-time MXGP World Champion.
Kay de Wolf: Signed #74 plate, boots, and goggles. A complete set from one of MXGP’s rising talents.
Liam Everts: Signed MX2 #26 number plate. A marker of a new generation in the sport.
Stark says more items are expected to be added before the auction closes, including contributions from Honda Racing Corporation and Hard Enduro champion Manuel Lettenbichler.
Motorsport united for a different purpose
While auctions involving motorsport memorabilia are nothing new, Stark frames this initiative differently: not as a collector’s showcase, but as a way to transform historic racing artefacts into something tangible for people who rarely get to experience the world of motorcycles. Participants are not simply bidding on memorabilia, they are contributing to future MotoTerapia events that give patients a chance to feel movement, inclusion and excitement in an environment built around motorcycles.
The auction is hosted online by Stark Future and will remain open until 17 April 2026. Check it out:
Guy Salens – THE PACK: “For all the talk about technology, performance and market disruption, initiatives like this remind us that motorcycles, electric or otherwise, are ultimately about human connection. Whether it’s a MotoGP paddock or a hospital courtyard, the feeling of being on a bike still carries the same magic.“
