There’s this one on the ‘Bay - just ask nicely and Kato will get it working for you

Or for a modern spin on it go for one of these:

I was joking of course although a friend of mine at the time fitted some 2 tone air horns to his CB Superdream 400! They were proper loud though!

Probably the most powerful bit on a Superdream

There wasn’t much wrong with the 400 (apart from dull)
the 250 was horribly underpowered though

Had a pleasant afternoon on a 400 Superdream at Brands Hatch racing school back in the 80s!

Dull as dishwater. I was curious what they were asking for one these days, with a lot of that period japcrap asking stupid prices.

Think I paid £75 for the last one of those I had used as a commuter and when it finally stopped I just left were it was parked just off Tottenham court road, walked past it to work for the next month then one day it was gone ?
Wouldn't dream of spending anything on repairing one or even servicing it for that matter

Some people really just need to get a grip. A Honda Superdream is not a 2.5 - 3 grand classic bike (and I've seen Cx500's advertised for 5k too. They're a cheap dependable and disposable hack, just cheap trash basically. And in the meantime M900's and S4's and the like can be had for similar sort of money, it's madness, so go figure! Is that down to Ducati vs Honda perceived reliability? Sorry off topic, I know.
