Answer
Don, the model is usually referred to as a Dream 250 Touring by Honda. There were numerous variations of both the 250-305cc versions... solo seats, dual seats, sheet metal bars, tubular bars, etc....

I have restoration guides on CDROM for sale that cover most of the US versions and are applicable to most of the worldwide versions.  Go to my website: www.vintagehonda.com for more details.
