Every person over 50 has his own “DREAM”.

Tribute to the 1962 HONDA DREAM 50 

Honda Dream 50

In early 1962, Honda stunned the racing world by presenting its first 50cc-class factory machine. The now famous Honda RC110. Shortly thereafter, in the same year, they produced a customer-specific alternative called the CR110 Cub Racing,. As a direct result of the success of these two Honda dream models, they began domestic sales in June 1962.

The cr110 with one cylinder has a high-tech gear driven camshaft, DOHC and four valves. This amazing little motorcycle has a compression ratio of 10:3.1. The speed increases to 13,500 rpm. 

The Dream 50 Racer (WHICH OF COURSE IS ALSO REGULARLY FOR SALE AT THE FOURSTROKEBARN) has the style of the 60s. The short racing wheel and an elongated striking fuel tank. The frame has a  reinforced single front downtube that is screwed to the engine crankcase. The top of the frame uses a reinforced double tube configuration that connects to a multi-tube box under the rider.

Front and rear disc brakes provide incredible braking performance for such a small motorcycle. The engine is unique, specially designed and built for the Dream 50. A 50cc four-valve with double overhead camshafts.

A commercial racing version, the AR02 or Dream 50R, was imported into the US in 2004. The Honda Dream 50 is completely legal on the road and is a nice tribute to those beautiful 60’s engines that Honda has put on the map. The Dream 50 is now a  collector’s item and is extremely difficult to find nowadays. 

This was a very small but important part of Honda  history.
