that looks like a Honda dream: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_C71,_C76,_C72,_C77_Dream
That would be a Honda Dream
anything cool about them? I don't know jack about bikes, but could probably have this one for next to nothing. Worth turning into a cafe racer project or anything like that?
Hell, I don't even really know what a cafe racer is......other than it being vintage motorcycle related :)
Thats a shame there....look to see if the side covers are laying around and cant see if brake light is there or not. If the engine is free and the tank is not rotted or dented bad she might be worth saving. Whats great about bike projects is they dont take up a lot of space
This is what they look like all cleaned up. Its not really great "cafe bike" material. It would be best to bring it back to as close to original as possible.
I had one in very similar condition for a brief period about a year ago. Couldn't sell the damn thing to anyone(no title = no one wanting to pay $$), but traded it for $150 worth of music gear, including a craptastic old Kay SG clone, and a pair of matching vintage Peavey Musician 400 bass & guitar heads, which I'm still rocking.
Um, yeah...so in other words, I wouldn't give more than a hundred bucks for it if I were you.
They have stamped frames and probably aren't a lot of fun to restore if they're in poor condition.
All the above is true. Not cafe material, resto to stock. Collectible IF it has a title. Not big money collectible though. If you can get it for next to nothing and get it cleaned up, repaired, running for cheap it could be a fun project. Then find a antique motorcycle collector market to get your money back. Maybe.

That's also the problem. I have a 79 KZ400h in a million pieces in my garage.
Nice Honda.
Sell me the tank. Seriously, sell me the tank.
The tank as wall art would be worth $150 in my book.
What was that about not being cafe material?

Depends on where you live... in Georgia, a bike that old is pretty easy to register with a bill of sale and no title.

Definitely not a dream. Looks like a super hawk to me, and yeah, those do make cool little cafe bikes.
With everything that Dream is going to need (which is just about everything), you're going to be into it for close to a grand just to make it roadworthy, more if you get ambitious. Obviously that's not a huge chunk of change in terms of vehicle restoration costs, but it's helpful to have some sort of ballpark figure when you're weighing your options.
As I understant it, the Dream and any other 305 (SuperHawk, Scrambler) are different critters. Carbs are different, Dream engine is a stressed member where the Super Hawk has a frame under the engine.
You would save yourself a lot of gray hair by parting for garage art.

As long as it is registerable is what counts. Having a title just helps.

Don't think so. Looks like a 305 Super Hawk that has been modified. I learned to ride on one back when they were new.

I'll see if I can snag it. How difficult is it to remove (and let's assume rusty bolts, etc)?
Wouldn't know. Should be easy, regardless. My CM200T's tank has only one bolt at the rear.
If the tank is shot, but the chrome tins, gas cap, petcock and/or knee pads are good, I'd still be interested.
Usually there's one bolt at the back of the tank, on top into the frame. Then lift up and back to pull it off the rubber grommets up front.
