I owned the above bike from new until sometime in 1981 and haven’t seen it since. I’ve noticed that a new V5C for it was issued 30 April 2021 so it looks like it has recently changed ownership. It is now taxed until the end of March 2022 so could be back on the road. I’d love to see it again. I wrote an article for the Aircooled RD Owners’ Club magazine in 2018 detailing my bike ownership from my first bike in 1974, a new Suzuki 100, up until my present bike, a 1978 Yamaha RD250. Included in the article is information and pictures of my 250 Superdream, I hope you enjoy reading about it. I’m always hopeful that one day I’ll get to see it again.

Great read that. Thanks for sharing with us.
My guess is that the last change of V5 was to change to historic and that the current owner may have owned her for some time. The MOT history gives a clue that she was off the road for a few years before being MOT'd again with the same mileage as the one before, some 6 years previously. So it does look like she is out there somewhere and being used, if only for a few hundred miles a year.
Have you posted on the many SD forums on facebook? I think you'd find someone that knows about where she is and can get a little updated history.

I don’t do FB so hopefully I’ll hear via this site. Is there a way to set up notifications when there are responses to this thread? Thanks Stephen

Let me check to see if this can happen, in the meantime, please be rest assured that we as a community here will have our eyes peeled for you on all channels, we are always looking at Superdreams and what comes up on the market in the UK. I for one have made a mental note of your registration in fact it does seem very familiar already. Have you been searching for it on line previously? I recall maybe responding before commenting that it is a Manchester area plate, possibly on a previous forum I frequented for a few years. If you get chance, drop me a PM with your email address and should anyone see it, we can let you know on that (as well as here)...hope this helps.

Received. Found these in my photo vault an hour or so ago, I always keep pictures of original Superdreams and found this earlier. Hoping we can help get her back for you, whatever state she may now be in.

Yes they are the pictures I took just after taking ownership in 1980, even then I was running both a bike and a car, the Ford Escort was mine too! Happy Days!!🙂
