Honda CB50R listings
In 2004, Honda released the CB50R, a stunning tribute to its small-displacement racers of the 1960s. Sold as a track-only machine through Honda dealers, the 'Dream 50R' wasn't street legal. It's powered by a jewel-like 49cc DOHC 4-valve single-cylinder engine that screams to over 13,500 rpm, producing around 7 horsepower. With styling cues like the long fuel tank and solo seat from the original CR110, it's a faithful homage built with modern precision.
The CB50R's appeal comes from its status as an official Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) product and its extreme rarity. Many were purchased by collectors and never turned a wheel on track, preserved as static art. They represent a pure, undiluted racing experience from a golden era of Grand Prix competition. For Honda collectors, it's a must-have piece that showcases the company's engineering heritage in miniature form.
Buying Tips
- Check carefully for crash damage. Look for scuffs on the bar ends, levers, engine cases, and exhaust. Many were never raced, so damage can significantly impact value.
- Verify its originality. It should have all the correct HRC components it was sold with. The street-legal CB50V is a different, less powerful model.
- Ask for maintenance records. These are high-strung racing engines that require careful upkeep, even with minimal use. A compression test is recommended.
- A spares package is a huge bonus. Parts like jets, sprockets, and other racing consumables can be hard to find and add significant value to a sale.
- Be aware that these were sold as competition bikes without a traditional VIN, making street registration nearly impossible.
