Yes, you've probably seen photos of this bike before, but I have finally decided to put it up for sale.
I have owned this bike for eighteen years. I have also owned CB400F and CB750F Super Sports, but this 550 has always been my personal favorite. It has classic looks combined with light weight and ample power. It's the classic 70's middleweight sport bike.
It is mechanically stock with the exception of the four individual K+N air filters. It has the original factory 4 into 1 chrome pipe and stock jets in the carbs. While the tires have lots of tread on them, they are dry and should be replaced. I have two fuel tanks for it. The original tank has a small dent in it where it fell over while being transported in a pickup (damn previous owner!) but I have a second tank from another 77 SuperSport that is in much better shape although it needs paint. The tank dent never really bothered me and has been there the entire time that I have owned the bike. The seat was recovered many years ago, but it has no tears in it and is in excellent condition. I bought a new battery for it today and just did a valve adjustment.
Original owners manual and tool kit included. I have the title to this bike as well.
$1800, which is a fair price for a nice old classic bike. It is located in Western Connecticut, convenient to I-84.
If you have any interest in it, I would encourage you to buy it before Wherethefmi returns from Afghanistan with all of his accumulated combat pay, as he clearly wants to own this classic bike.
Peter Egan bought a CB550 when they were new. 'Nuf said.
