1997 Honda CB50 Dream
Registration no. P933 HNT
Frame no. AC15-1002634
Engine no. AC15E-1002632

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. 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.

This delightful Dream was first registered in the UK in May 2005 and has covered 642 miles believed from new. The vendor has fitted the Dream with a big bore kit taking it to 89cc (going from 3hp to a powerful 7hp!) and was used recently by the vendor. Currently MoT'd until March 2024, it is accompanied by a V5C, dating letter from Honda, MoT and brochure.

The original 50cc parts that were taken off to fit the 90cc big bore kit are offered with the lot. The mileage stated in the catalogue is not believed from new and is covered since a new speedometer was fitted when the big bore kit was installed.
