The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. Honda forged their reputation in the early sixties with some incredible 4-stroke race bikes including the 50cc CR110, a double overhead cam single-cylinder that made 8.5hp at 13,500rpm.
Launched in 1997 to commemorate Honda's successful 1962 CR110 single-cylinder racer, the Dream AC15 became instantly collectible with the short-lived production run intended for the Japanese Domestic Market. Only a few have made it to the UK with this particular example being offered in immaculate condition, showing only 33km (21 miles) on the speedo, and has been part of a private collection on display in the vendors house. Not run for a number of years, the bike has been dry stored and comes complete with a brand-new battery and the original Japanese language instruction book. A tribute to the brilliance of Japanese engineering, it will need some recommissioning and registering before use.
