1979 Honda CB550F, 544cc. Registration number TCC 877T. Frame number 2110154. Engine number TBC.
Honda followed its sensational CB750 with a range of smaller fours, the first of which - the CB500 - appeared in 1971. The half-litre newcomer was just as well specified as its larger brother, boasting an overhead-camshaft engine, five-speed gearbox, electric starter and disc front brake. Upping the engine capacity by 10 percent, the CB550 offered the same blend of performance and civility when it first arrived in the USA in 1973. UK buyers had to wait another three years to sample it, by which time the model had been joined by the CB550F, with 4-into-1 exhaust and sportier styling.
TCC was owned by Neil Hopkins in 2016 and he had it restored by Swindon Classic Bikes in 2017, our vendor acquiring it January 2020, he has added the heated handlebar grips.
Sold with the V5C, it dos not require an MOT as it is historic, receipts for the works undertaken, the original toolkit and booklet.
