    A really nice looking vintage Japanese motorcycle. Honda could really produce some fun, simple, colorful bikes and still do. 👍🏻

    305 Dream was my second bike (in 1968). First bike was S90 in 1966. Long standing addiction and I haven't sought a cure.

      This Dream is a “survivor” original paint. Not perfect but darn good looking. I put 6,000 miles on it in one year about 7 years ago. The rebuilt the top end. Such a great motorcycle.

    When I was growing up in the mid sixties, a guy in our neighborhood had one of these. He gave me a ride on it and I thought it was the greatest. He eventually crashed and went over the handlebars, and got knackered by the tank. He recovered with no major injuries, but the bike was toast.

    • @motorcyclerewind
      @motorcyclerewind  Місяць тому +4

    MY FIRST BIKE WAS A HONDA DREAM 305CC WHICH I PURCHASED USED IN 1966. IT WAS A BIKE TRUELY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME. SMOOTH WITH ELECTRIC START AND RELIABLE. IT WAS TRUELY THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE BRITISH MOTORYCLE INDUSTRY.

    Here in the UK I had one of these from new. Believe me it was streets ahead of the British bikes. Quiet , smooth , relable , leak free , electric start , comfortable . The list goes on . Great bike that began the demise of the British bike industry and it was their own fault for making lousy bikes .

    I love bikes like this, specially the big fenders, chain guard and just the overall practical usefulness of the bike. It's very very very rear to see bikes like this of the new generation. Everything is sporty, so short fenders that you think why they are is even there. I guess that the maxi scooter segment kind a inherit that type of vibe but not all the treats.

    I had a red one bought used but mint right down to the whitewalls. It had rectangular turn signals too. Traded it in for a 305 Super Sport but wish I had kept it simply because of its quirky looks. No garage for such niceties. I do recall one negative. Saddle sores from the very slippery flat vinyl seat. The leading link suspension would bottom out on occasion but since BMW also has leading link that was a classy choice. 😎

    I had a 66 Dream when I was 16, 3rd gear was messed up, I wanted a scrambler but ended up with this, took the pipes off and used it as a scrambler , beat the crap out of it as a dirt bike, this was in 72, finally blew the motor in 86😂😂😂.

    I’m. It old enough to remember a commercial or advertisement ad to who the bike was marketed for . But in the short time I’ve been watching this video , and you keep using the word refined and taking the time to try to find words such as elegant and tasteful ect. Sounds to me like you are just trying to make it be what you want it to be because it makes you feel that way . And where I’m from we would say that is a yuppie .

    Back in that time Honda had a reliable two wheeler. I had two different models of the 305’s.
    Ran them into the ground, but they were survivor’s. The scrambler was my favorite.
