HONDA CB250T Dream (1979-1980) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1980, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB250T Dream, a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range that included several models with different engine displacements, manufactured from 1977 to 1982.

The 1980 CB250T model featured a cafe racer styling and packed standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a black-finished steel frame, and cast aluminum wheels.

For suspension, the bike packed a conventional telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance, while the braking performance was handled by a single disc squeezed by a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a drum braking unit on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.

In the performance department, the 1980 Honda CB250T Dream was set in motion by a 249cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 17 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and sent its power to the rear wheel through a five-speed manual transmission.

Overall, the CB250T Dream machine was a popular model at the time, with its cafe racer look, low-slung fuel tank, flat seat, and small fairing, and still sought after by collectors and enthusiasts today for its classic style and reliability.
