Honda CB400NA (2 cylinder) road test in old Magazine.
Laverda Dave:
The 250 Superdream was a bit of a slug really George although they (to my eyes) looked so much better than what else was on offer (apart from the LC). The Superdream 250 suffered the same fate as the Yamaha XS250 in that they were the same bike as their 400cc bigger brothers but were obviously sleeved down 400cc engines but lumbered with carrying the same mass around and therefore their performance suffered. A friend of mine had a 250 Superdream and the most she ever got out of it was just over 80mph. It could have been worse, she could have bought an XS250 and she'd still be trying to start it today!

They were very slow, I had a Dream 250, it was more like a nightmare.
My CB125T was faster.

I've owned both 400/4 and 400 Superdream. Yes the twin was faster for sure. However my 400 is blue. Now if it was yellow...?

No idea what this thing about yellow is, they paint fire engines red!

I like your thinking Tim, go to the top of the class, you can be milk monitor all next week👍
Bryan, you are 100% correct about red fire engines except........ airport fire engines are in the main painted yellow, this must be to make them go faster when travelling up the runway. I can only think Mr Honda may have driven an airport fire engine prior to starting his company and knew he needed to paint what would be his fastest bikes yellow, I think my theory may be correct.......or not.......😳
