Evening All, I've just bought a 1990 Honda CB450DX for £400. I realise this is not a Superdream but I regard it as similar as it shares many of the same parts of the 250/400, except this is of course 450 and built in Brazil. So I paid £400 for a bike which has 29,000 miles on the clock and runs pretty sweet. It's not a minter, and nor will it ever be, but there are a few bits I want to get sorted and I have a few questions I will be asking in the coming days.  Heres a photo I've took of it and uploaded to flickr. www.flickr.com/photos/samhirst6359/22118847285/ |

Big shame about Dunnies cafe near the bridge, it was a huge loss for Otley folk and myself. I miss the 30p cuppa teas and 2 quid meals. At present there is no replacement, but we do have the Sun Inn 6 miles up the road which is a fantastic place.

Yeah, I go up there when I fancy a quick blast. Nice road over to pately bridge from there, past stump cross.

Eyup lad. What are the chances. I live up the bypass in Ilkley and have a 450dx and a 250n. Although my dx split an oil line. Is currently on a stand in my garage with a knackered back brake caliper. Honestly i curse that rear disk setup. I cannot find a replacement caliper. Must have been looking for one for a year. Tell me where you get the parts and i will woop for joy. Davesilverspares doesn't stock much for the dx bikes. Help!!!!
