Honda has always been one of the world’s best at sub-100cc bikes, from commuter bikes for the people to full on works racers. Over the years, however, the company slowly moved towards bigger bikes in an effort to capture more of an American market that has always been obsessed with power. For a couple of years in the Japanese market (and then for one year in the US with a race-only variant), Honda built an homage to the 60s CR110 racer.

Despite what you might normally expect from bikes with tiny engines, this bike had surprising amounts of tech, including dual discs and a dual overhead camshaft. Depending on who you believe, the engine either produced 5.6 horsepower at just over 10,000 rpm, or a whopping 7.0 horsepower at 13.5k. Either way, it’s tiny (just 157 pounds dry), it’s rare, and it’s pretty.

This specific Honda Dream 50 is basically brand new as it has less than a mile on the odometer. There’s a small dent on the tachometer and there’s light corrosion of the chrome. There’s no paperwork or title, so you might be relegated to track only usage with this, just like the 2004 imported model.
