To be honest, you will not find an accurate answer....why do you ask this question?
If you believe the data on those 'how many left' sites which rely on DVLA data you will be seriously mislead.
Honda sold bucket loads of them in this golden year (1980). |

I bought mine in 1981, they were everywhere back then, amazing to think that she’s 37 this year! 3 more years and there’s no tax/ MOT to worry about. I think she can claim historic interest status then...

I am no expert but they did sell nearly 18000 250's in 1980 alone so I would guess they are not to rare  someone on the forum might have a better idea of sales figures who have been into these bikes for a long time! |

Just curious to know how rare a 1980 model is really That's fair enough - I just think it is impossible to know for sure what is left these days from the original number sold. We see so many of these bikes (a lot them as it happens from 1980) still resurfacing year on year out of sheds and garages after years......with 80's and 90's tax discs on them. I believe many were parked up and forgotten about after the learner laws changed rendering them virtually worthless at the time. How can we possibly ever know what's left for sure? These bikes are under DVLA's radar. |

The “new” learner laws ie learners couldn’t ride a 250 got me back into biking and more to the point Superdreams,I’d given up when my brother had a serious off and he not knowing the change in law swapped a car for a 1980 red SD,he couldn’t sell it and it was stuck in garage gathering dust and I decided to use it and quickly moved up to a CB750 and here we are now still riding  . Be interesting to find out how many still exist |

just because a item is old or rare does not mean its valuable,they may not have been a market ore it was crap.classic bikes is like any other commodity ,if demand is high supply low prices are high flood the market prices drop.your favorite auction site is a good market indicator i mean the auction side not the buy it now.then there is the provenance are famous people seen with the item its pedigree all can affect the value.the superdream is a good project bike still a good supply about so still a good supply of parts.still look good and easy to ride.still lots of 60s 70s and 80s classics out there that are under the radar.just got to remember as the price goes up buyers get fewer.if its a keeper cost is not a issue.took my mate gorge 2 years to sell his panther that was a very good original bike.he lost money on it ,it at to go he could not get it up anymore,on the stand that is.there is no big market for panther motorcycles.and just remember the market will be flooded with classics as are siblings sell are pride and joy
