The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of cars and other power products. The CB250N Superdream was one of the best selling bikes of the seventies giving many learner motorcyclists their first taste of a riding a bigger bike on a typically well built and reliable Honda.

The later version of the Superdream, with the reverse Comstars, this 1981 model is presented in mostly original and unrestored condition and is a tidy bike for its age. The bike has had a new exhaust, mirrors, speedo cable and flasher relay fitted and has been ridden recently by the vendor. Whilst large numbers were sold in the day not many have survived. Currently on SORN it comes supplied with a current V5C.

Reg No: PU 7112 Frame No: 16600

CC: 500 Engine No: 6730

MOT: Exempt

• Long-term ownership

• Purchased in July 1971

• Restored and used since purchased

The sporting 16H is as desirable today as it was when new, displaying, as it does, the best attributes of vintage motorcycle design. The model’s specification placed it at a considerable advantage to many of its rivals, an advantage that was enhanced further by the reliability and build quality of the machine.

This charming 1925 Norton 16H was purchased by the current vendor in 1972, he then swapped it in 1975, for an Austin Chummy. In 1980 the opportunity came up for him to purchase it back, by which time it had broken a conrod and the engine was changed (details on RF60). It was restored by the vendor and has been used since its completion. The 16H will need recommissioning before use due to being stored for a few years. It is offered at auction complete with a current V5C, 1958 continuation RF60 logbook, a host of old MOT certificates, tax discs, and various paperwork.
