Oh....
Never mind.
Do we lose sleep? I certainly won't.
To echo my Uni lecturers from year one.......'Do not use Wiki as a source of credible information or you WILL be marked down'.

This is what me wrote (Ernie Wise)....hahahahahaha
The CB400T was named the Dream in the UK but still called the Hawk in America. It had a 5 speed gearbox and alloy and steel wheels, with the rim being alloy.
It was never a big seller in Europe, hence why Mr Honda copied the big brother CB750 and CB900 F2's for the N SuperDream model
The CB400N was never called the Dream as N denotes Superdream or Hawk as it was called in America.
Both the 250T and 400T and the 250N and 400N shared the same frame and engine, although some improvements were made to the SuperDream models. Biggest being the 6 speed gearboxbox and altogether lighter with all alloy wheels and more plastic.

Definitely says in the Wikipedia entry under the CB250N-
In 1993, the BSA Company of Gloustershire, UK, announced plans to remanufacture pre-1980s CB250Ns, at a rate of about 10 to 15 bikes per week.[1] Previously such vehicle refurbishing had been seen with cult classic cars such as the Volkswagen Beetle or Morris Minor.[1] They intended to replace some parts, upgrading some, such as the transmission to a 6-speed, and rebuild the rest of the bikes, and sell them for about half the price of a new 250 cc class Honda of the time.[1]

There was a outfit who tried to refurb them in the mid 1990's........it came up in discussion last year as an example they did appeared on ebay.
From memory it was a bit frightful to look at - but this is an interesting topic.
What was that company called? What does the BSA stand for (in this case)? Anyone know?
