National Powersport Auctions and the Motorcycle Industry Council Team Up for Charity at AIMExpo 2025
National Powersport Auctions (NPA), the leading provider of powersports remarketing and auction services, will hold a special charitable auction to benefit the Road 2 Recovery Foundation at the American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) 2025 in Las Vegas, NV. The event will be held Thursday, February 6, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM PT. NPA and the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) have partnered to provide the fundraising platform and donate the expenses associated with the charity auction event.
The auction will feature 15 to 20 highly valuable items and collectibles, including signed memorabilia from AMA, MotoGP, and NASCAR athletes. All items will be auctioned off live by NPA’s auctioneer. The items will be on display at AIMExpo, and prospective bidders will have the opportunity to preview them on NPA’s website before AIMExpo, February 5-7, 2025.
“Giving back is one of our core values at NPA, especially to an organization like Road 2 Recovery, which specializes in helping injured athletes,” said Ryan Keefe, Vice President of Marketing for NPA. “Partnering with AIMExpo in Las Vegas will take this charity auction to another level!”
“The powersports industry is made up of a lot of passionate people, all fans of the sports we follow. We are also an extremely benevolent industry; having a charity auction at AIMExpo and allowing some of us to get our hands on some memorabilia makes perfect sense,” said Andre Albert, Director of Marketing and Events for the Motorcycle Industry Council. “We look forward to bringing this auction to our attendees and supporting the Road 2 Recovery Foundation.”
“We are excited to partner with both NPA and AIMExpo to bring this auction to life,” said Jimmy Button, founder of Road 2 Recovery. “It’s partners like these that allow us at Road 2 Recovery to continue carrying out our mission of helping our injured athletes through their recovery process. With the help and support of many riders and drivers on both two and four wheels, the auction items should be a hit with everyone.”

American Honda Brings Dax 125 to U.S. Customers
American Honda today confirmed that the Dax 125 (first offered to European customers for the 2023 model year but paying homage to the 1969 CT70 that was a big hit with stateside enthusiasts) will be available in the U.S. market for the 2025 model year. The Dax joins Honda’s handful of mischievous, charming miniMOTO models—each small in stature but huge in appeal—that have collectively struck a chord with young and old riders alike.
“In the ’70s, the Trail 70 was ubiquitous in the U.S., where its unique look—highlighted by a ‘T-bone’ frame, chunky tires and folding handlebar—made it easily recognizable strapped to motorhome bumpers and tooling around campgrounds,” said Colin Miller, Manager of Public Relations at American Honda. “The model holds a warm spot in the hearts of many American customers, so it’s appropriate that it make a return in the form of the Dax 125, which honors the original while introducing modern technology, performance and reliability. We’re excited to see its reception among U.S. customers.”
The Dax 125 is available in U.S. dealers in October.
2025 Dax 125
Fully owning the genuine authenticity of the beloved 1969 CT70, but bringing thoroughly 21st century performance from the chassis, engine and ergonomics, the Dax 125 comes to U.S. customers for the 2025 model year. Nostalgia obviously plays a part in the Dax’s appeal to riders now in middle age—enthusiasts whose families may have owned a CT70 in their youth. That said, the retro aesthetic is equally important to younger owners; a certain style sets some machines apart, and the Dax has just that in abundance, thanks to the form of its iconic T-shaped frame. Unique, easy, usable and great fun, the Honda Dax is like a faithful old friend.
