It looks like the 50cc road racer which were about in the late 60's It had a 12 speed gearbox (YES 12 SPEED) and I remember them going down the straight at Darley Moor Circuit changing gear every 50 yds to stay in the power band. I believe the official works No. was CR110.

Yep, it's a new production unit. They had a street legal Dream 50 back in 1997 for domestic market. Some were smuggled to US. I love to get one, especially since here in Las Vegas, under-50cc units don't require registeration nor insurance so it'll be a great gas-saving ride.
