The Honda CB250N and CB400N Super Dream are motorcycles manufactured by the Honda Motor Company from 1978 to 1986. The successor to the short lived Dream model, it had a series of revisions including a six-speed transmission and what Honda termed as European styling [6] which resembled the CB750F and CB900F. It was a popular model for Honda with 70,000 bikes sold in the UK alone.[7]
