The CB50 Dream was conceived to commemorate Honda’s early racing history in the 1962 ‘tiddler’ class. Introduced in 1997, its modern equivalent – the CB50 Dream – produces 7.0bhp at a heady 13,500rpm with maximum revs a further 1,000 up the scale. The gearbox is a six-speeder and the Dream weighs in at an anorexic 157lbs dry. Immensely popular in Japan, the Dream 50 has been produced in various versions over the years, spawning an entire cottage industry of accessory and component suppliers. A miniature masterpiece.
The 1997 Honda CB50 Dream on offer here was recently liberated from long-term storage in Japan with 6,986 kms (4.331 miles) and imported to the US. It was treated to a full recommissioning and service, consisting of a new battery and an overhaul of the fuel system, including a carb clean, and check through the spark system. The bike starts well, idles smoothly and rides exceptionally well. It is quick, smooth and an absolute blast to ride!
