Honda CB250N/CB400N

The Honda CB250N and CB400N Super Dream are motorcycles that the Honda Motor Company manufactured from 1978 to 1986. As the successor to the short-lived Dream model, they went through a series of revisions including a six-speed transmission and what Honda called European styling, which resembled the CB750F and CB900F. It was a popular model, with 70,000 bikes sold in the UK alone. The Super Dream was fitted with a four-stroke, air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine with three valves per cylinder, two inlet and one exhaust, operated by a chain-driven overhead camshaft, capacitor discharge ignition, a 360-degree crank layout like many traditional British parallel twins but with two balance shafts to reduce vibration, a six-speed gearbox and chain final drive. The CB250N was a popular UK model because the licensing laws let learners ride any motorbike under 250 cc, and it was the best-selling bike in the UK with over 17,000 sold.
