For sale - 400 Superdream and a half!

#1 Post by BikerGran » Tue Mar 02, 2010 10:36 pm

400 Superdream not in bad nick that hasn't run for several years because it wants a generator fitted. Got the generator too. Another frame, forks, wheels. And most of 2 spare engines, totally stripped and stored in a couple of filing cabinets. I think there's a spare tank too.

Fun project or first bike for someone's offspring - make me a sensible offer!

what colour are the filing cabinets? :smt002

Sounds an interesting little project, alas my offspring currently has the kitchen table littered with a slightly smaller Honda engine or three!!

Just been out to take photos. (Special one of the filing cabinets for Kwackerz!) They're not very good as after standing for so long, the front pads are stuck to the disc and I couldn't drag it back out of the garage, but here they are! Couldn't find the forks but I think they're there somewhere, likewise couldn't get at the spare wheels - one's a Comstar the same as the ones on the bike and the other's a reverse Comstar.

Rest of the photos are HERE

I had the 250 version of that. Damned unkillable pig of a thing. Same weight as the 400 with half the power.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

The 400 was a great first 'big' bike for me - easy to ride and a bit quicker than my 100cc 2-stroke, not a lot quicker cos that little bike really flew, but much less like hard work - and I wish my GT had a clutch as light as the Superdream, it would solve a lot of my problems!

Quite rare these. I keep being given 250 'super'dreams. So far, the list is 5 of the soddin things along with boxes of spares.. Even have one rotting in the corner of the garden after it was laid to rest. It had done 76,500miles.. on the same cam chain! Needless to say everything made from steel rotted around bits made of ally..lol.. :smt005

Lots of the 250 bits fit the 400s though!

What sort of price are you looking at for them?

£260 for the lot!

I reckon the bikes worth £200 cos it needs very little to be on the road (at this point I always say if it needs so little, why not do it? The answer is, arthritis!)
And all the spares have to be worth £60 - I'd get more if I sold them all seperately but I don't need the hassle.

BTW I couldn't find the forks anywhere but there is a collector box that may or may not be in usable condition - it was last time I saw it, must go in the shed and root it out!



BTW I sooooo agree with the sentiments in your sig!!!!!!! :smt003
