Thumbs up My First Love And My Last..........





These photos represent my very first love and my last. The Dream and the Nightmare, lol. I bought a brand new black SuperDream 30 yrs ago and I thought it would be cool to buy another and restore it to its former glory. Here it is!

Funny thing is, the SuperDream weighs about the same as the Fireblade, LOL.

Ooops! Yes you're right Renegade :-)

I want a NEW Blade, so this won't be my last.

Great looking bikes! Wish I still had my first bike. You obviously take great care of your bikes. Excellent attention to detail.

Awesome work, MadDog. Like Regen said, that 250 looks like a new bike. Very impressive!

Sweet looking restoration.

Kinda fun to look at the 2 side by side - handlebars almost line up, seat height and location are close, rearsets are in the vicinity. Wheelbases and fork rake are similar.

Honda's had this thing figured out for a while.
