All dressed up in angular sheet metal, he Honda Dream is instantly recognizable as a machine of the 1960s. Those sartorial straight lines and sharp creases of the Dream are also instantly polarizing — eliciting a love it or loathe it kind of reaction.

Regardless of how you feel about the blocky and chunky machine, or many who came of age in the era of the Dream the model brings back happy memories.

The impression of the Dream is exactly the kind Soichrio Honda hoped to make with his products. From the first motorcycle Honda built, he designer believed that small displacement multi-cylinder engines were superior to large, humping singles. And in 1957 Honda wasn’t beyond riffing on a concept that worked when the fledgling motorcycle maker introduced its C70 Dream.

The engine found in NSU’s Rennmax, ith its twin forward-canted cylinders and gear-drive double overhead cam, nspired the 247cc 4-stroke twin powering Honda’s C70. Unlike the Rennmax, onda’s C70 featured a chain-drive single overhead cam, ut otherwise featured horizontally split crankcases with a pressed-together ball bearing crankshaft and dry sump lubrication system. After the C70, onda developed the 247cc C71, hich featured an electric starter. Bumped up to 305cc, he same engine was introduced to North America in the CA76 Dream in 1959. There were, n fact, everal different versions of the 247cc and 305cc Dreams imported that year, ut none in very great numbers.

The dry sump CA76 lasted a single year, eplaced in 1960 with the CA77 Dream Tourer. Honda updated the CA77 with a wet sump engine and also offered a 247cc CA72. Both the 247cc and 305cc Dreams used a 360-degree crankshaft, eaning the twin pistons rise and fall simultaneously, ut fire alternately. Fuel and air mixed in a single 22mm Keihin carburetor, nd exhaust left the robust cylinder head via dual-wall header pipes before exiting through mufflers equipped with removable baffles. The 305cc twin was rated at 24 horsepower at 8,000rpm.

Early vs. late

Dreams produced from 1960 to 1963 are called “early” models, hile machines built from 1963 to 1969 are dubbed “late” models. Differences between early and late are few. Visually, he shape of the gas tank changed, ut the rectangular rear shock absorber upper covers and the square headlight nacelle, omplete with speedometer, emained. Over its production run, ream specifications continued virtually unchanged.

Honda built a surprising number of offshoot models based on the Dream, ncluding the CSA77 Dream Sport; a 305cc Dream equipped with a high-level exhaust system to distinguish it from the Tourer.

Honda used metal stampings welded together to make the frame, hich included the headstock and the rear fender. There was no front downtube; the engine bolts in at the cylinder head top cover and at two points directly behind the rear case, hus acting as a stressed member. A leading-link front fork (also made of pressed steel), hile not known to provide razor-sharp handling, rovided effective suspension.

Front and rear wheels were a stubby 16-inches each, nd most Dreams came equipped with whitewall tires. Unlike the small C100 Cubs, hich featured some plastic bodywork, he Dream is all steel, ven the deeply valanced front fender and side covers. Dreams were available in white, lack, lue and scarlet red.
