About this model
About the Honda CB 72
The Honda CB 72 Dream is an early 250cc parallel twin that marks Honda's move into serious motorcycles. Its air-cooled OHC twin combines relatively eager revving with a solid touring chassis. It is not a modern 250, but the engineering was advanced for its era and finish was usually better than many European rivals.
The CB 72 is chiefly a classic for gentle rides and collectors who want to ride an early Japanese twin rather than merely display it. Value depends heavily on completeness and correct details. Check tank badges, exhaust, airbox, generator cover and the 6V system. A motorcycle with documented crankshaft, cylinder-head and carburettor work is a much better prospect than a cosmetically attractive project with unknown mechanical condition.
