2004 Honda CB50R

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. In true race style, the gearbox is a six-speeder, it has preload-adjustable Showa suspension, and the Dream weighs in at an anorexic 157 lbs 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 and one of only 440 produced.

The motorbike offered

The CB50R racer on offer here comes from a discerning collector and is offered in spectacular and original, unmolested condition. From close inspection, we are able to confirm very minimal use since its production date of 22 years ago. Many photos on the gallery show nothing more than torque marks on the fasteners, to attest to the originality. Fully recommissioned in our shop, the bike is offered in fine running condition, as can be seen in the accompanying video below.
