Description

Built between 1974 and 1978, the Honda CB550 was “probably the best balanced Honda of the seventies,” according to this Silodrome recap. They go on to call it a “Goldilocks bike” as it fit in perfectly between the 400 and the 750 – the “CB550 was just right.”

The 550 remedied many of the bugs from its predecessor, the CB500. The clutch slipping issues were fixed and the 5-speed transmission sorted out the gear change problems.

Manufactured October 1974, this example is VIN: CB5501217536. The seller purchased the bike approximately two years ago and states, “My first street bike in college was this same year make and model. I dated my current wife on it. I wanted to own and ride it again.”

During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately 300 miles. The odometer shows 13,581 miles.
