Is it new or is it old? Says 2008 but looks retro.

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Retro-ish... Note the disc brakes!

Saw one 2 years back at Road America. Way cool!

A local shop had one for sale for $3500. If I had more disposable income I would have nabbed it and started racing the mini class.

The Dream 50 R was produced in a limited run only a couple of years ago. A load were snapped up by investors hoping for a nice return but they're selling still in the crate for less than list again now....lovely things though with tons of tuning parts for them from Japan.
