This 50cc race engine at left is a twin cylinder - Honda also developed a 50 3 cylinder to compete with a rumoured 3 cyl 2 stroke but it, the tiny Honda 4 stroke was made but never sat in a race bike. The h.p figure for the 50 twin was 16hp 2 21,500 rpm,which meant a Pme of 16 kg/cm2, the highest developed 4 stroke ever. The 3 cylinder 50 would have developed 18hp at 25,000 rpm according to Joep Kortekaas. Pictures do exist of the Honda 3 cyl 50.

rare race kitted CB92R.the new bike was ordered (CB92) and fitted with the factory R kit. The follow up model was the factory race model CR93. My friend Scotty Van Lewen owns this bike and is near finishing its restoration. I believe its a 1963 model. Scott lives in the U.S, and bought this bike off his cousin in 1966, when his cousin replaced it with a CR93. It sat in his attic till recently when he mailed me for tech help. I got him into action to restore this priceless gem.
