Vehicle Description
1966 Honda Dream Motorcycle- California Bike- 305cc 2 Cylinder-
Silver and Black- 27k MilesSoichiro Honda started out building
mopeds after the end of World War II. Wildly popular Soichiro soon
grew his business producing his first D-type motorcycle in the
early 1950's. These D-type motorcycles were built with a rigid
pressed-steel frame and telescopic forks heavily influenced by BMW
motorcycles of the 1930's. In 1955 Honda toured various European
Motorcycle manufacturers studying their production facilities and
processes and the design of their bikes. Once home Soichiro who was
a remarkable engineer used the information he gathered on his trip
to transform his moped business into one of the world's leading
motorcycle companies. Honda created a new generation of lightweight
yet sturdy framed bikes utilizing a free revving twin-cylinder OHC
design motor that was both fast and responsive featuring electric
starters and did not leak oil. Honda's designs transformed the
industry making the Honda name a worldwide brand. Featured here for
sale is a 1966 Honda Dream 305. This motorcycle has been lightly
restored and is largely in original condition and a very clean
vintage motorcycle originally from California with 27000 miles on
it. It is powered by a 305cc air-cooled OHC parallel twin-cylinder
engine that is factory rated at 23hp @ 7500rpm. Weighing just
350lbs this bike accelerates quickly to a top speed of 90mph. The
lightweight of this motorcycle is due to a frame made up of metal
stampings welded together to create the frame headstock and rear
bumper which integrates the motor acting as a stressed member. The
front forks are also made of stamp steeled and utilize a
leading-link front fork suspension which provides a soft ride. This
unique construction also gives this bike its unique look along with
its squared off headlight. Highly collectible these motorcycles are
also very reliable easy to maintain with parts readily available
and most importantly these motorcycles are lots of fun to ride.
