The Honda CB550 was made from 1974 to 1978. It had a four-cylinder 544cc SOHC air-cooled wet sump engine. The first version, the CB550K, was a development of the earlier CB500, and like its predecessor, had four exhaust pipes, four silencers and wire-spoked wheels, a rear drum brake and a front disc brake. Compared to Honda's 1969 dry sump CB750, both the CB500 and the CB550 were much smaller and lighter.

This spectacular Honda CB550 has to be one of the prettiest anywhere, with the restoration presenting as you’d hope any extensive restoration should do, with the intention that every detail has been done to factory specifications. The restoration was carried out around 1999-2002. The care and patience to restore this machine to this standard would have been a labour of love. This is probably the best example we have encountered and should be seen to be fully appreciated. Sadly, there are no receipts or paperwork for all the hard work carried out. This machine will need to be registered in the UK, although a Honda dating certificate is on file.
