I had several Honda Dreams and Benlys, they were worthless in the early 1970's but good daily riders, I toured American on the largest, 305CC version, it only went a bit over 70 MPH wide open but it was miserly on fuel and ran, and ran, and.....

One neat thing about all those 1960's Honda Motos was : once in top gear you could pin the throttle and ride it wide open all day, all night .

Jus change the oil and check the valve gaps and timing every 1,500 miles or so...


I tried hard to buy the BSA 250 single once, it was an entry level bike many couldn't understand the limitations of so they hated it, many more loved them .

It's drizzling here in L.A. again so I wimped out, no Moto riding to - day .
