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.”

Manufactured in October of 1977, this example is VIN: CB550K2113845. The seller purchased this motorcycle via auction in December of 2021.
