The twin ”Dream” series were produced under various model codes from 1960 till 1969. They were the first larger-capacity motorcycles that Honda mass-exported. They were very well equipped with 12 volt electrics, electric starters and other advanced features that were not common to most other motorcycles in the sixties. Moreover, they were well-engineered, dependable and very economical with fuel. Later versions of the Dream were equipped with a 305 cc engine that had an output of 23 hp @7,500 rpm. The high-rise handlebars were specifically used on the American market. Honda characterised the Dream is a brochure like this: “Here’s the street machine for the man who isn’t going to be happy with less than the best. The powerful 23 hp motorcycle is so easy to ride you won’t dare to tell about it. Because everything is designed and engineered so perfectly, rider and machine are almost a single living entity. And it’s studded with the abundance of safety features and extras the Honda rider expects. Speed up to your work and enjoy life more with a Honda.”
CBU was imported from the USA in 2021 and bought by our vendor from the importer in 2022. It appears to be in original condition apart from some dodgy white walls!
