Why the CB450 DX makes one South American want a real Superdream


Ok, you few regular readers already know that the Honda CB450 DX-K, as it was known in the UK, was built in Brazil.
But while it wasn't that popular here, it's interesting to see what our Brazilian pals think. And this excellent piece by 26-year-old Chico Rasia, from Curitiba in Brazil is worth a read and gives an insight into a biker's dreams on the other side of the globe.
He confirms the CB450 was built in Brazil for a decade from 1984 (as the military dictatorship stepped aside).
He writes: "So Brazilians got to know the CB450DX, with triple disc brakes, the CB450 Luxury Sport.
"There was even a CB450 Nelson Piquet, in honour of the famous F1 driver. The CB450 remained in production until 1994."
