Unboxing the extremely rare 1998 Honda Dream 50, 24 years old, ready to be auctioned

Many people are surprised that a 24-year-old bike can be kept intact in a paper box for such a long period of time.

It is known that this vintage motorcycle is about to be auctioned through Artcurial on March 18th at the Rétromobile Salon in Paris, France. The estimated auction price for the bike is between 5,000 and 10,000 Euros (approximately 129 million to 258 million VND).

Honda Dream 50 is a typical retro-style motorbike, produced by Honda specifically for motorcycle enthusiasts. The bike was first introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1995 and was mass-produced and released in the market until 1997. It is considered a faithful replica of the 1962 CR110 racing bike.

All the details and components on the bike are kept in original condition.

This bike was only sold in Japan and was in production for two years—1997 and 1998.

With the characteristics of the CR110 racing bike from the past, the Dream 50 is classified as a masculine, manual clutch motorbike. It features a large and deep headlight, with two analog gauges for RPM and speed on top. The handlebars are designed to be separate and form a short V shape.

The rear taillight of the bike is sturdy and robust.

The 1998 Honda Dream 50 is equipped with a small 1-cylinder 50cc engine, with a top speed of 90 km/h, 5-speed gearbox, and a maximum output of 5.6 horsepower at 10,500 RPM.

The higher-end model, called the Dream 50R, is designed for racing with a top speed of up to 140 km/h. The only difference is that the instrument panel is extended forward, providing convenience for the rider at high speeds.

Previously, there was no information or documentation about any Honda Dream 50 bike being kept intact in a box like this, so this could be the only one of its kind in the world today.
