Post by: tom400f on August 10, 2015, 03:00:19 PM: Ha ha - a 400F, a dream and a superdream all right there!

Post by: royhall on August 10, 2015, 05:08:51 PM: Weren't those 250 dreams just an ugly bike. They used to call them wet dreams around here. ;D

Post by: mike the bike on August 10, 2015, 05:13:39 PM: We referred to the Superdreams as wet dreams. Didn't see a lot of dreams.

Post by: Chris400F on August 10, 2015, 07:10:24 PM: What's the front mudguard on the 400/4 from? It's certainly not original.
Looks a bit dodgy to me .... so in keeping with the rest of the programme ....

Call me odd but I rather like the bulbous styling of the dreams :-X

Looks like a CB250 K0->K3 to me, with the stays inside the mudguard. Centre brace not the same though so must be a bodge up. His old mate George Cole passed away recently.

Au contraire mes amis (oh wait I'm not the one called Trigger ;) ) I thought the XBR500 was completely weird. That rat 250 Superdream, now if it was a blue dream model I would be salivating ::)

Mate of mine had one - went on the back of it when it was legal to ride pillion if you had a full license :P

Post by: hairygit on August 10, 2015, 08:18:31 PM: My point exactly, you can look at it forever, coz it probably wont start, try fixing or servicing it and things break/snap or shear, and they cost a fortune in helicoils/wurth inserts! ;D Still, I suppose you could clean it, but don't show it a damp chamois, there will be a race for the water between the metalwork wanting it to make lots of rust, or the wonderfully deliquescent electrical system wanting to suck it all up! :o (I'm after the late great Bitsa's reputation, do miss his comments!)

Post by: Green1 on August 10, 2015, 08:35:50 PM: I thought that was what you were going for Hairy love the Devil smiley

That was also a perfect description of both my Italian bikes. ::)
