- Restored in 2003, stored in the Sloan Museum in Flint Michigan from until 2009. I purchased this early summer of 2010. Fixed 3 electrical probs and recovered the seat, also fixed the leaky petcock. Runs and rides awesome. Just showed it at the 2011 Indiana Motorcycle Expo. Currently im restoring some white fiberglass Buco Bags.

My dad got one in 68-69 it was great! I got to drive it because of where we lived
This is my dad’s video, I remember riding on this with him when he first got it, it was one over his fist motorcycles he owned, he still owns it, I love this bike a lot.
My dad used to have a Honda Dream. When I was a young kid (mid-70's) I thought that motorcycle was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. My dad used to take my older brother and me on rides with him. I would sit on the gas tank in front of my dad and my brother sat on the seat behind him. Wonderful memories to see that bike in this video. Thanks for posting!
I’m Steve hoys daughter and I love this bike, dad said it will be mine one day
Same childhood rides bro. I sat on the gas tank and my big bro behind my Dad😂 I used to call that bike "Borogobog" because it's very noisy
Very nice bike!, you got a deal! I currently am restoring a '64 CA77 Dream in red. So far I have $2500 in rechroming, and $2200 in paint. Those are two items a hobbyist has no control over. I will have far more into it than what it is worth for sure. Restoration costs are through the roof! But it's a hobby. I also have a nice 305 original paint Superhawk in black, they are worth more than the Dreams for some reason.
I love these bikes!!!! 57 yrs old and the first bike I ever rode.... One day again soon....
I bought the same bike as a 14 y.o kid.(1976)....had a seized motor....a little mystery oil soak, and off she went. I got mine in the projects of Brockton Ma. for a hundred bux........
That is a beauty. My first bike was a 1967 Honda 150 dream. I got it brand new for $449.00. 3 other friends had 150 Dreams as well. 2 friends had 305 Dreams. I beat the hell out of it dirt riding and jumping it and then somebody stole it. It wasn't an off road bike but the low center of gravity made it fun for sliding corners speedway style. lol I would love to have another one. Do not jump Dreams. The suspension can't take it for long. Fond memories. Met my wife on that bike.
This looks like the one I had back in the seventies. Great bike for it's size. It was great for short road trips. I abused it sometimes with hill climbs and jumping, but it held up well. I used to transport in in the back of my 1967 Ford Country Squire. It would fit laying down in the back. I dearly loved that bike, but sold it to my Brother when I needed money for an emergency.
Brings back memories. I had one in the late 60's, sold it and wound up buying another one the following year. I sold the second Dream to a friend, who took it to the Woodstock festival. When I saw it there I was sorry I sold it. One major problem I had with mine: I broke down on the FDR Drive in NYC. Entire wiring harness had burned up. Other than that, had a lot of fun with it.
She is a beauty - good to know she is out there being ridden not stashed in a museum. Sure brings back memories to me. I recall how smooth it was to ride.
Thanks for sharing this Singerunkown. I'm 61 now but when I was 14, I hitched a ride to the Honda dealer in Union City, TN. At the time, it was Abernathy's Harley Davidson/Honda. I bought a 1965 Honda 305 SuperHawk in White and rode it home. Obviously it was used. I paid $350 for it. My parents were livid but they let me keep it. I paid cash for it from my lawn mowing money... It was a great motorcycle!!! I pulled the baffles out of the exhaust and the sound was incredible for a 350 cc engine.... Wish I had it back!!
great story!
+ 1 !
Love and Respect all the way from Pakistan 💚
I had a 65 back in the day, windshield, luggage rack. Mine was white. It was surprisingly torquey for a small engine... would do over 100 mph!
Enjoyed the sound and WOW what a great shape this bike is in.. thanks for the memories
Good that it is in the hands of someone who appreciates it and loves ... and will ride it not just have it die in a museum. I have to guess the museum needed money or closed down. Thanks for posting it. That is for sure a fine piece of history. I love that it is in mint condition and in stock condition.
You got an amazing deal on this bike. I'm restoring my Honda Dream and I'm almost done. I can see whoever restored your bike defiantly knows what there doing because it looks amazing.
My grandfather had one of these. He said it was a great riding bike.
The ole Hondas were nice, I had a Honda 90 . It was my older brother's bike but I kept hot wiring it everyday, til finally he let me have it for 50.00. I got a 305 Super Hawk 67 model great bike needed restoring but didn't have time for having too much fun.
The Great old Gladiator helmet looking front fender motor bike! They are reliable, could pull their weight reasonably well being around 27hp and less than 300lbs if I remember. They also could be adjusted on the fly to handle some cross winds what better by tightening or loosing the neck tension. Too bad they did not account for rear spring adjustment other than replacing with round coil ones. Thanks for bringing her back to prime!
Great job... nice to see that love for old classics being keep alive.. Thanks for posting..
A quality product and nice restoration.
Absolutely beautiful! Would love to find something like this!
Those Type 2 setups with the 360 deg crank have a nice "Baby Harley" lope = )) Sweet Dream man.
HONDA DREAN 305 CC - EXCELENTE MÁQUINA .
SUPER POSTAGEM,SINGER UNK OWN .
my dad who recently passed had what we thought was a 69' 305 dream. it is white with a red seat. now i'm beginning to think it may perhaps be older than what we had thought.
I had one at 1983 Buffalo bike Rally took Ratbike trophy 🏆 magic bike had for 4 years and sold it to a bike collector still have the trophy 🏆
I just bought the same bike a few days ago for about the same price you picked this one up for. Not quite show room condition like this one but close. Not very often you see deals like that! We are the few, the proud ;P
I owned and drove a black one back in the early 1970's. I think they came in two colors, black and red. The carburetors didn't let mine idle too well , but it was my 4th bike at the time. Three years later I bought my last bike, a 1972 Honda 450. It has been 40 years now and I never went back to owning a motorcycle. If I found an old 750 automatic Honda , I would try it out and maybe buy it if the price were rite.
@fadatuberadioman Thank you very much. The gentleman that did the restore has since past on. I showed the bike at the Indiana Motorcycle Expo in the Showcase and sent the pics to his wife. He was a machinist and really polished it out.
Just gorgeous
Beautiful! Lucky find for you.
my first bike and I loved it.
This was his first bike as-well - his daughter
*My '68 'Super Cub' always had problems w/the tail-light until I wrapped some foil around the bulb-base
and it worked. no problems after that*
_____________
thanks, and good luck with your new toy!
I thought they were very odd looking when they first appeared but curiously likeable. And very nippy.
I'm possibly buying one of these tomorrow
Beautiful Bike In Great Shape. 👍
yes, i find myself wanting to shift into 5th gear all the time. ONly a 4 speed. I love having the bike, it was a big hit at the Motorycles on Meridian downtown INDY during the motoGP.
Thanks for the post. She's nice!
thanks for the offer, but i don't think it will be necessarry. i'll just kinda have a look around in various places and make some comparisons. besides, i don't even know how to upload photos. i use this pc primarily for just playing poker. thank you, sir.
Old design but she looks great, the engine sounds great too.
Nice I'm restoring 1 myself now
Gary Parks I am as well. Not sure if you’ll see this but I’d like to see your progress.
lol, the story is he listed it for over 4k, during the recession and no takers, i called him up. he said the petcock needs rebuilt and needs a battery. I told him i just want to know its running. he calls back and said when he hooked the battery up the starter button was stuck on, and it fired right up scaring the crud out of him. so he said, tell you what, im dont messing with it, if you come up you can have it for 2k. I said, ok ill be there in 6 hours!!!!!!!!!!!! short version
Sorry man, about the mix up, your beautiful bikes twin, also out of a museum is now on eBay. I am with you, I wouldn't sell it either.
I havea white one. Same vintage. Has never been ridden. zero miles. Museum quality condition. Willl likely put on ebay next year.
Very nice!
to 1skullduggery: It is said that Honda used parts that were leftover when necessary. A white bike might end up with a red seat bracuse of an "overstock" of red seats. My Honda identification guide says these were basically unchanged since late 1963 to 1969. But parts "colorwise" may have been interchanged at times apparently.
Had one in the mid sixties but did'nt like the high handlebars so changed them for 'Norton straights' much better.
Gorgeous. I must have one!
haha, I have sold 3 in the last year and a half. all red, and all i have left is the red one with aftermarket pipes. The one in this video i wouldnt take less than 5k for. It has buco bags for it as well.
Spotted it eBay good luck!
This is very cool
I had one in early 70 s and the tail light would go off and on, I would go down the road slapping it
@absolutsoju The front drum brakes work pretty well, but on this bike they prob need changed. This is an Around town bike, you dont want to be getting out on the highway and doing 70mph although it will go over 80.
If you'd take 2k, I'd buy it. Definitely don't have a little under 5. Lol Trying to sell my bike and pistol just to get enough to spend 2000 or a little more.
He said a little under 2500.00
Enjoy I did! Thanks for Posting.
well its most likely a 67, thats when they stopped production but sold them until 69, from what i have read. Great old bike.
Looks like the same taillight that's on my 65' C102.
Nicest one I've seen…lucky!
I just purchased my 64. 305 for $100
Yeah my dad passed away and I found a red dream in his shed. Needs a lot of work though
The Elvis movie with the 305 was "Roustabout"
Soon as it started it became the Wet-Dream.
La maneje en el 74 era el correspondencia de la Fuerza Aérea Peruana
nice bike
mint 305 dreams go for up to 6k. one like mine would be in the range of 3500 to 4500.00 In rough but running condition you can get 1000 to 2000. if that helps.
It's funny, Honda is called "305" although it was officially 300. I had one and on the badge was "300".
+Hannu Mäkynen mine too I looked and could not find 300, but my title said 300, 1969
Have one and mine also says 300
that thing sounds sicker than a man dead for 30 years!
ikr
305 Suoer Slug
Man. It's you again! How many Dreams you got?! Lol
Just picked up a Dream '66 CA77, but when I turn the key the starter comes on. How did you fix your sticky starter?
How did you fix the light?
yeah they come off but i like it stock. your talking about the chrome covers at the bottom of the forks?
That kitteh tho
ESPECTACULARE
i don't see it at Vietnam, it look baby
Very nice. Not the original exhaust sound, though.
its stock exhaust
a M 1 mustang hit me head on, it totaled that Mustang, didn't do me a lot of good either
It was a CB77 I believe
ว้าวววววว งามสุดๆ
I saw a video clip with Elvis and he had something. I just couldn't see what he used.
any idea what it might be worth $-wise? i'm sure it needs some work, but i'm not sure exactly what. i just don't wanna be sitting on a rare gold mine and not even reaize it.
Less than 2500? What? You had a gun to his head! Faaarrrkkkk me that's stealing !! Lol
i have a red one for 1800.00 runs, waiting on title.
front brakes are weak but with the rear it stops well. not a big bike by any means.
cute cat ! cute screen !
do the fork guards come off? I love the look without the front assembly.
I have one and want the super hawk forks on it so bad.
How are the front drum brakes in normal riding?
Yea im not suprised you bought ot for less than $2500. These old small bikes are nice...and i have several in my garage, but ad nice as they are, theyre not worth anything. I have this exact bike also...bought it mint for $1500.
Want to sell it?
Is this one for sale for "less than $2500"?
Capacity of the fuel tank please !
Omg
not really unless you modded something up from a set of buco bags. would be cool.
Do you have one that IS for sale?
awesome man, send me some pics via email.
What is the actual price for a bike like this ?
2500 to 4500 i have a super nice blue one for sale. for 4500.00 you can email me at 18atango911 at gmail dot com
I officially hate you! What you have is a proper motorcycle...a two-wheeled 'work of art!'( I currently own an '08 'Metropolitan' in mint condition, complete w/performance upgrades, in the 'Gothic' color scheme of gloss-black and gloss-gray...it's as quiet as a tomb and 'tracks' like a locomotive! )I'll keep it forever! ('forever' is not long for me at 63) But, still...that 'Dream' has such an esthetic quality to it...like the 1930's "Indians" had. ( oddly...I constantly get 'compliments' from people over the 'Metro' whenever I park somewhere...something I never expected to happen)
Is this for sale?
Нашему Юпитеру до него далеко
for sale?
I have a beautiful red 305 dream ill be selling soon. be on the look out on ebay. user sahoy
that will never happen :P dont worry im not insulted ha ha
