My blue Honda CB250N was manufactured by the Honda Motor Company between 1978 to 1986. The six-speed transmission had what Honda termed as European styling which resembled the CB750F and CB900F. It was a popular model for Honda with 70,000 bikes sold in the UK. The Super Dream was fitted with a four stroke, air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine. It had three valves per cylinder, two inlet and one exhaust, operated by a chain-driven overhead camshaft. Ignition was provided by capacitor discharge ignition (CDI). It had a 360° crank layout similar to many traditional British parallel twins, but with two balance shafts to reduce unwanted vibrations. It used a six-speed transmission and chain final drive. Fuelling was provided by twin Keihin carburettors. My blue one was lovely apart forth tiem the petrol tank sprung a leak and slowly leaked petrol all over my right hand jean leg… This was my London dispatch rider bike, I have no recollection of how many miles she clocked up before being a PX for a CB750.
