This spectacular 1965 Honda CA77 Dream Touring 305 is simply one of the best restored examples known to exist. It was professionally restored by well-respected Bjorn Golberg who won First Place at the Keeneland Concours in Lexington, KY in 2016 with a white 1965 Honda CA77 Dream Touring 305 that was later purchased by MS CLASSIC CARS. This show quality restoration was completed in December of 2019 and has only 3 test miles. Some photos of the meticulous restoration are included. The matching numbers 305cc engine was completely rebuilt and runs beautifully. This machine is a piece of rolling artwork. Clean title included.
Imported from 1960 to 1969, the CA77 Dream became the mainstay. With an air-cooled SOHC 305cc parallel twin with a single 22mm Keihin carburetor, it produced about 23hp at 7,500 rpm, propelled the bike to 85 mph, and delivered better than 50 mpg. A bargain at $595, the Honda Dream was easy to operate thanks to electric start, distributor ignition, and a smooth four-speed transmission with rotary design that allowed direct fourth-to-neutral shifts. The so-called “monobeam” chassis of stamped steel and the covered front forks of a leading link design made the Dream reminiscent of contemporary Triumphs with “bathtub” styling. The “toaster” tank had chrome side covers, large black kneepads, and vivid Honda emblems. The bikes were available in red, blue, black or white and sometimes had matching saddles. Under flared, deeply valanced fenders, the 16-inch wheels often wore whitewall tires. By 1965, Honda had become lodged in America’s mind, and the Dream had much to do with that.”
This 1965 Honda CA77 Dream Touring 305 was purchased by a gentleman in New Lenox, IL on June 14, 1998 as indicated on title. It was purchased by Bjorn Golberg in November of 2018. When it was purchased the motorcycle was original but mostly disassembled. It was the perfect candidate for a restoration. Bjorn Golberg is well-respected for doing high quality restorations. He won First Place at the Keeneland Concours in Lexington, KY in 2016 with a white 1965 Honda CA77 Dream Touring 305 that was later purchased by MS CLASSIC CARS. This bike went through the same process as that one had and was completed in December of 2019. It only has 3 test miles since completion. As quoted from Bjorn himself, “This classic is more than just beautiful - it runs as good as it looks and can be ridden if desired.”
This machine is in absolutely beautiful condition from top to bottom. It is definitely in concours show quality condition throughout. As the photos document it was completely disassembled during the restoration. It was then meticulously reassembled. This bike is the definition of a nut and bolt restoration.
The body was media blasted and then sprayed in epoxy primer. The body was then painted in its original color of Red. The color mixture was made to look as close the factory color as possible. This color looks beautiful on this bike with its art deco styling. The PPG paint is high quality and has been detailed to a brilliant shine. All the chrome work was redone by well-known Meclec Metal Finishing located in Fresno, CA. All of the parts were restored or replaced such as the handle bars, black grips, levers, cables, dual mirrors, gas cap, emblems, etc. The front headlight, rear brake light, horn, electric start and original speedometer are in working order. The new red seat cover was wrapped around the detailed original seat frame. The bike sits on the original wheels which were completely restored. The work included repacked wheel bearings, re-lacing, re-chroming and new spokes. The wheel hubs and brake panels were polished. New rim strips and tubes were added. The wheels were wrapped with in the correct Firestone Deluxe Champion 3.25-16 narrow whitewall tires.
The original 2-cylinder, 305cc/23hp engine was completely gone and runs excellent. The 4-stroke engine runs on pump gas no necessary additives. The cylinders were re-honed. It has new piston rings, seals and gaskets. The valves were also lapped. All of the engine parts were cleaned; bead blasted, and painted Honda silver where appropriate. The carburetor was rebuilt with new points and condenser. It’s equipped with NGK spark plug wires. The fuel petcock was rebuilt. A new correct JB-2 battery was installed. This engine starts by the electric start or kick starter. The engine breathes out beautiful chrome header pipes with new exact replica mufflers that sound awesome. The original 4-speed transmission was inspected, cleaned and any worn parts were replaced.

日本；本田機車、技術超強、這款2缸305cc、堪稱是6O年前的高級車款、初期第一代、沒有起動馬達裝備、須要用脚踩動引擎、後來就裝置起動馬達、現場這部就是有裝備在引擎底座前方圓形狀、很好的車型、技師的工藝技術完美！GOOD！
From 2:00 to 9:23 is a 7 minute video of you talking. We came here to see the bike, not you. We can hear you talking without seeing you.
The purpose is to explain the bike, thanks. We sold this for $25,000 on bringatrailer.com over a year ago now.
Wow
That is so clean it should be illegal
I have a 1967 Honda need mufflers Do any I know were I can get them
My Dad had a 150 Dream when we were in our teens, This bike brings back good memories and is Beautiful.
My Mother had the 150/160 Dream. I took my driver's license test on it in 1974. My Dad had the 305 Dream. My older brother had the 305 Scrambler. Good old days.
There were several(4 or 5, I think) of these in my home town of DeQuincy, LA during the mid and late '60's when I grew up. Someone had a Superhawk 305, as well as a CB 450, which was as large as they came back then. I don't know when the 750 first debuted, but it was probably well into the '70'. We all considered the Dream 305 to be a large bike. And at the time, they earned a lot of respect and admiration from us kids. Most of us "dreamed" of owning one! Nice review of your bike. Thanks for the memories.
Does it need to be registered? Someone please let me know
*Cylinder#1 is running too 'rich' because the machine is heeled-over*
____________
*Would I swap my '08 'Metropolitan' for the 'Dream?'* *NO!*
( *Some kind of weird 'Twilight Zone-ish' sh!t has occurred between me and my machine and I cannot bear to let it go...it stays w/the house when I croak* )
____________
*I saw it on 'CL' 5-yrs. ago and it somehow went right from my laptop screen into my head and I couldn't 'un-see' it and it told me to "COME GET ME WE BELONG TOGETHER"*
____________
*I'm either delusional or 'There is more than we know in this Universe' or very likely both because in 1990 I looked into a certain woman's eyes and I was 'Hers' from that moment to now*
____________
*I always have lusted-after a 'Dream' and never could afford one, but I can still 'dream' of riding such a beast flat-out or just cruising...and knowing every pair of eyes is seeking-out a 'better look' of a machine from Honda that defines 'Art' and 'Motorcycle' made real*
305 cubic centimeters
Absolutely stunning
engines stuffed
Ive had several crazy fast bikes. But this is my favorite bike.... This is a beauty. Looking to buy one.... You have treasure there sir...
305 cubic inch, huh?
305 cc.
I caught that too.
My first bike, purchased used in 1969. It was not considered as cool as the Super Hawk but the engines were the same; maybe tuned differently. Really drew crowds at the local burger joint. I fell in love with a girl in the summer of 70 and we rode that bike everywhere. I miss her but I miss the CA77 more.
🥰👍
HONDA. 💖🇯🇵💖
If I may ask.What paint manufacturer and code did you use on the frame and engine? I have a 1964 dream that was taken apart 45 years ago. Time to put it back together!
We did not restore this, we purchased it from the gentleman who did. We do not have paint manufacturer/paint codes used. Sorry.
Double check on the "distributor ignition" statement in the description.
NICE ONE
Thanks!
Beautiful
I love those bikes always wanted one. How much
This sold on bringatrailer.com for $24,000
@@MSClassicCars Cool. A very pretty baby. I just bought a super clean, all original, 9800 miles, red with sparkly white naughehide seat, 64 ca77 (with its original manual and all lifetime receipts). $3K .in the local ads (South Louisiana). Runs great, sounds just like yours - so your mufflers must be perfect replicas. Clean as a whistle, even the chrome. It would be nice to restore it but clearly not necessary. At this point in my life, I needed to buy an a(nother) antique motorcycle like I need a hole in my head but really, what’s a girl to do. Pleased as punch with my new bike.
Love it!
Thanks!!
