"As a full confession to all the anorak restorers , my friends and I had no money, nor Moro crossers. We cut a yz125 in half , did the same with a 400 superslug and welded the front frame tubes together and whatever else touched. A Cx 650 tank, some exhausts that swooped up next to the engine, two harris cans on the end and it was off to the local quarry. It was too heavy and definitely too fast, but god it was funny."

"I had a 79 400N with 2 into 1 Alpha pipes on it and it sounded good but toped out at 85mph. It did sound good dropping down 5 gears doing through villages at night but the old bill were getting complaints from one village because i would drop off my GF and go home around midnight. I thought it sounded brill."

"I did a clutch on a 400 years ago the customer brought it back with a little attitude saying it was as bad as it was but I noticed that for one reason or another the cable adjuster had been screwed right out, I had not left it like that so without the customer seeing me I adjusted it back at that I said I would test ride it so I set off up the road at full tilt hitting 70 as fast as a 400 ever did turned it round set off again back on the back wheel then stopped back at the customer saying "nowt wrong with that clutch" the customer looking a little shocked looking at now was his pride and joy said to me " I didn't know it could do that" so you could make the 400 go a bit if you were merciless with them but most on here are right 250s were as slow as Christmas in lock down."

'Was always impressed with their tendency to keep going. Gutless, maybe, but a first taste of freedom for many... Anyone remember that rat chop super dream Lil’Mark from AWOL hooned around the shows on in the early nineties?'

I had a CB900F that for nicked, and another 900F2B that I bought in cardboard boxes and rebuilt, rode it once, sold it . But the Super Dreams were a legend of banality that you didn't buy if you thought you was cool in the 80s !

"Had a one 5 years ago. Christ it was slow. Had more near misses with that than any other bike not having the power to overtake!When I had one when I was 17 they seemed much faster. Saying that I was four and a half stone lighter!"

£995 for a Superdream when you can get a CB250RS for £844. I've had both and there's a reason I've had 4 RSs and only 1 superdream.
