How big is a dream??

[rrtccp]

Hello folks , i am a newbie, and i have never even seen a dream 305 in person,, i have seen a dream 150 , in person, and was quite surprised at how small it really was.. i have been in the market for a 305 and the owner of the 150 told me that the 305 was somewhat taller and wider than the 150..... i hope this is true.. i'm a big and solid guy 5'11" and 250.... and as much as i want a dream 305 i'm wondering if i'm too big for it... so just how tall is the 305???,,, there is a very short clip on you tube of a guy who is 5'9" ( i know his size because i emailed and asked ) sitting on a dream 305, and he doesn't look out of place , so i'm assuming i'll fit....np

A Dream is as big as you want it to be....:)

Okay, okay; I couldn't resist...I'm a little over 6 feet tall and weigh in at around 230; I have no problem sitting on my 305, but if you want specific dimensions, I don't have them at hand right now; but I'd say a Dream is comparable in size to, say, a modern 250 dirt bike...

Anybody....???

Here is some perspective.

1st of the Dream and 1996 XR 250cc honda dirt bike


2nd of the Dream and my 74 CB550 project


3rd of the Dream and my 1971 Scrambler 175cc

I'm a CB-man, but I sat on a CA72 (the 247cc version, otherwise identical to the 305cc) when I had my CA95 (150cc) and was surprised at how much bigger it felt over the 150.

I don't have the Dream (touring model) dimensions but, height-wise, it feels about the same as the CB; and that has a seat height of 30" and weighs 350lbs (I can plant both feet flat on the road -- I have a 29½" inside leg).
