Registration no. P129 DWP
Frame no. AC15-1006553
Engine no. AC15E-1006547
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.

First registered in the UK in November 2011, this pristine example has covered a mere three 'push' kilometres from new and is presented in 'like new' condition. Accompanying documentation includes a (copy) C&E Form 386 (confirming its importation in 1999) together with other paperwork, a user manual, five delivery tags, a V5C document, an expired MoT (2012), and invoices relating to its subsequent sales. The current vendor purchased the Honda from Geomede Ltd (Motorcycles Unlimited) in August 2020, a new battery being fitted that same year. The machine was last run in 2020. It is not known for certain that the odometer reading represents the distance covered from new; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the total's authenticity prior to bidding.
