The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/ 4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike and beginning a range of SOHC Honda fours ranging from 350cc upwards. The 500 model followed shortly after the 750, eventually growing to 550cc.
This Honda 550 was purchased by the current vendor to rekindle his youth and desire to own another Honda. Since ownership, he has gone through the machine and has enjoyed a few runs on it since. Only being sold due to ill health and a bad hip, it is being offered complete with a current V5C and a bike cover. Please note the Honda has been covered in Duck Oil for the purpose of winter storage.
