hi!

My 1950's bikes are unscrewed right now, I am during restoration, but I can show you how should bikes look after that.

MF350 from 1956, propably the rarest Honda above dream D. I'd love to drive it. It was no more than 100 units produced. Japanesse Vintage Motorcycle Club, said that till today there is no more than 4 MF bikes saved in the world.
It was modified SB350 model. SB had 14HP, MF has got 20HP. Also compared with SB, different fender's fin, front suspension - 4 swingarms (not forks like in SB), winkers in an amazing shape (only one Honda model had this lens shape), different horn, tank, rear seat and some smaller things.
But the most beautifull is banana type pipe.

In 1956 bike costed 189 000 yens, you could buy 68 gold ounces for it, or Konrad Adenauer's Mercedes, so it was very expensive & luxury bike.

 Wow, that would be nice if you could get them to look even close to that...good luck & WELCOME to the forum..

hi!

I don't know the full history of the bikes. I know only that smaller ME was a police bike and about MF I don't know nothing. It's a mystery bike, many MFs were prepared to the rally championsships and many ended a live during competitions

This is a long story how I got them. 2 years ago I purchased CB77 Superhawk in Worcester, UK. Superhawk's seller recommend me one man from Worcester - it was Alan, very nice man. He has got many old bikes, cars also tractors, and I had an opportunity to buy another 2 bikes from Worcester, it was ME & MF. The both bikes came to the UK in propably 2007.

After a many months, since I have not been here, I can say that I almost finished the restoration of my Dream MF and propably this year it will be listed on ebay.

MF is an amazing bike. Yes it was first Honda with winkers from my knowledge. Earlier Honda had semaphores as option. I can show you the genuine Honda semaphores

Also I recognized that MF has got the top solutions in the engine. You can switch directly from the last gear to the first. And the enigne has got 2 separated  oil chambers. One for the clutch and gearbox, second for the cylinder and head. So you can use different oil for clutch and gearbox and different for the combustion chamber.

Also my collection became bigger. I purchased Dream 3E from 1953. I repaired some minor things and the bike runs great now. It will get new chromes, seat and paint soon. Bike has got 100% genuine parts
