A miniature masterpiece, the CB50 Dream was conceived to commemorate Honda's early racing history in the 'tiddler' class, which commenced on the latter's 1962 inauguration with the RC110. Part way through the 1962 season, Honda introduced a customer version: the CR110. The single-cylinder CR110 featured twin overhead camshafts and four tiny valves; its maximum power output of 8.5bhp arrived at 13,500rpm, while there were eight speeds in the gearbox. Introduced in 1997, its modern equivalent - the CB50 Dream - produces 7.0bhp at 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. Displaying only 1.9km on the odometer, this early example was purchased new from Honda and is offered with an original manufacturer's brochure.
