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 only 4kms (3 miles) on the odometer and no evidence at all that the bike has ever had gas in it and run. It was then imported to the US. It was treated to a sympathetic detail and then placed on static display. With accompanying original documentation, battery water, tools, etc., the bike is ready for the next office or living room display.
