Details
This bike needs no restoration or repairs, and is really fun to ride. The only imperfection is some paint bubbles on the gas tank, but is otherwise museum quality. If you want it to be perfect, you can replace or repaint the tank.
I just put a new battery in it, and it starts and runs great!
It has a kick start and an electric starter, front disc brake, and is great first bike or upgrade from a smaller bike, though it is plenty big enough to ride for years.
Also included are the original tool set, original owner's manual, original factory service manual, and a new Clymer repair manual. I also have an new oil filter, and a replacement oil filter bolt (the original is rather small and easily stripped if you do not have a professional socket set, the replacement has a larger head).
I have a clean Illinois title for it. I expect payment in CASH ONLY. The bike is in Champaign, IL. I may be able to deliver it a short distance, and can offer advise for shipping.
To make an appointment to see it, call 217-352-7737 and leave a message with your phone number. Serious inquiries only, please.
The Honda CB550 SuperSport
The Honda CB fours were a revolution in motorcycling when they were introduced in 1970--a lightweight high-power bike with incredible handling and braking. It defined sportbikes as they are now known. The 550cc version is lighter and handles better than the larger 750cc flagship model. The "F" designation refers to the 4-into-1 exhaust setup, as opposed to the "K" designation for dual 2-into-1s.
