The 250 cc (15 cu in) Honda C71
and C72 Dream, and the identical C76 and C77 bikes with 305 cc (18.6 cu in)
displacement, were the first larger-capacity motorcycles that Honda
mass-exported. They were characterised by a pressed steel frame and alloy
overhead cam twin cylinder engines, and were very well equipped, with 12v
electrics, electric starter, indicators, dual seats and other advanced features, not common to most motorcycles of the period.
