Hi Gang,
been looking and finally found one that's close by. here's the ad...

For sale is my 1964 Honda Dream CA95/150 with 11k miles, rebuilt engine, very good cond. Mechanic owned for a very long time. Some spare parts also: Tank cover, chain guard, starter etc. $1650 cash only. Must see,

Ya, thats a decent price. Its not as though theres a ton of them in good shape available anymore.
 
Well, having spent $600 on a project CA95, I can tell you it will cost me most of another $1000 to get it in good riding condition, so $1650 isn't too bad, especially if you love the bike.

A 305cc Dream would be a more collectible bike and perhaps more useful for longer rides, but the smaller CA95 is a fun bike.
 
I went and checked out the bike. The bike is dusty but CLEAN! started right up on the first kick. Everything work. tank's a little rusty. no hole in the exhaust. rode it around the parking lot. I offered $1000, he counter with $1200, I offered $1100 and he accepted! Cant wait till i get the bike home to clean it up.!
 
Congrats! As much as I love a good build thread, I hope you're planning on keeping this one the way it is. It's a nice one.

This one will be kept to it original as much as possible.
 
Doesn't look like it needs anything - just ride the shit out of it and let it continue to age gracefully.

Does it have the lower 1/2 of the chain guard? They tended to rust out and are not common.

And don't forget it's a 6V electrical system. Don't go plugging it into your 12V battery charger!
