New Honda "Dream 50R" boxed car found in Belgium with an auction price of approximately 3.3 million yen!

The Honda "Dream 50" is a classic machine that is still talked about today as a type of moped "supersport" equipped with the world's smallest DOHC engine. However, it was only produced for two years, from 1997 to 2008, and 27 years have passed since its production ended. It is rare to find a car in good condition. However, the "Dream 50R," a limited edition of the Dream 50 that was sold exclusively for racing, was discovered as a new car on an auction site in the United States! The condition of the car is still in the original shipping box and is in super condition. The current price (12/08) is US$21,400 (approx. 3,300,000 yen), and the auction is still ongoing.

Mania-desired dead stock "Dream 50R

The Dream 50R, which was offered on the American motorcycle auction site ICONIC MOTORBIKES AUCTIONS, is a replica of the 1962 Cab Racing RC110, a competition-only model released in 2004 in a limited run of 440 units. Based on the public road model Dream 50, this model is equipped with HRC's "race-specific kit" for camshafts, valve springs, pistons, and other parts, as well as special low-friction cam chain and crankshaft parts. It was also equipped with a lightweight AC generator, competition-specific carburetor and air funnel, and a 6-speed cross transmission. 49cc mopeds weighing only 71kg, the single DOHC air-cooled engine delivers 7.0PS at 13500rpm. In every sense, it was a model that transcended the moped category.

The Dream 50R was sold by HRC in 2004 in limited numbers. The new car was discovered in Belgium!

The body of the car, once in its shipping aluminum frame, is naturally flawless.

What a surprise, it also comes with cardboard. It also shows that it was sold under the name "CB50R" overseas.

The Dream 50R is a rare item that is even more difficult to find than the Dream 50, which is becoming rarer and rarer, and is coveted by enthusiasts. It is of course rare to find one at auction, but this is probably the last one available as a new car in mint condition, still in the aluminum frame used for transportation. The car was stored in good condition, and there is not a trace of rust on any part of the body. The car comes with its original sticker and service manual, and its presence is so impressive that one can hardly feel the 20 years that have passed since it was last seen.

The 49cc engine, dubbed the world's smallest DOHC, revs to an ultra-high 13,500 rpm with parts exclusive to the "R."

Tachometer engraved up to 18,000 rpm. The sponge shows no signs of deterioration.

The long tank also has a caution sticker on it as it was back in the day.

The dedicated megaphone silencer has not been cured!

A service manual and stickers from the period are also included.

The machine is currently being stored in Damme, northern Belgium, and the auction is still open. The price as of now (2025/12/08) is US$21,400 (about 3.3 million yen). Since this is an overseas auction, it is not easy to purchase from Japan, but ...... is still worth a try if you are an enthusiast! It is such a rare machine.

The original Dream 50, introduced in 1997, is already at a premium as a collector's item.
