CB250 Gallery
Thus, the 250
Dream was introduced but, after the Europeans
said that the styling was too American, it was
dropped in favour of the 'N' series, better
known as the Super Dreams. At that time, Honda
hoped they had finally got their mix right!
The engine of the 250 is a four-stroke air-cooled
twin which features three valves per cylinder,
two inlet and single exhaust driven from the
single overhead camshaft. They allow better
breathing and therefore more performance and
economy. To keep the engine smooth, the motor
has the now almost universal contra-rotating
balance shafts. Power output of the engine is
27bhp at 10,000rpm, just a couple of horsepower
down on the admittedly lighter 'strokers'.
This power is fed through a six-speed gearbox
and performance is to the order of a 90mph The
CB250N weighs around 350lb so is quite heavy,
but this does not affect the handling unduly,-and
the bike remains well balanced and easy to ride.
The wheels on the bike are the famous Comstars
which unlike the earlier Dreams which had alloy
rims and pressed-steel spokes are now all alloy
and a lot lighter.
The styling is the most obvious change of the
Super Dream and it has a simulated one-piece
tank/seat/tail unit to replace the earlier bike's
more touring look. The modern sports look of
the replacement model is probably overdone with
its tank stripe a rich colour by the saddle
only to fade out as the paintwork reaches the
steering head and the computer-age-digit numerology
on the side panels.

When the CB400F2 four-cylinder was decided
to be unsuitable for the American market,
and therefore the world, Honda had to produce
a twin-cylinder bike with at least as much
performance, and came up with the Dream,
or Hawk as it was known in the USA. It was
also decided that a smaller version could
be made for the quarter-litre class and
this would also help make their four-stroke
250 quicker and more in keeping in touch
with the opposition's quicker two-stroke
machinery. |
