This 1975 Honda CB550 is powered by a 544cc SOHC inline-four mated to a five-speed transmission and is finished in Candy Jade Green. Equipment includes four Keihin carburetors, a four-into-four exhaust system, kick and electric starters, a front disc brake, wire-spoke wheels, chrome fenders, street lighting, and a black vinyl two-up seat. The selling dealer acquired the bike in 2024 and work in preparation for the sale included changing the oil, flushing the brake fluid, cleaning the carburetors, replacing the battery, spark plugs, and tires, and adjusting the cam chain tension, valves, and timing. This CB550 is offered by the selling dealer with an owner’s manual, a tool kit, and a clean Wisconsin title.
The bike is finished in Candy Jade Green with black, white, and gold accents on the 3.7-gallon fuel tank. Details include chrome fenders, street lighting, a black vinyl two-up seat, a grab strap, a rear grab bar, folding passenger foot pegs, and both center and side stands.
Wire-spoke wheels with chrome-steel rims measuring 19″ up front and 18″ out back were mounted with Shinko tires in preparation for the sale. Suspension consists of a conventional telescopic fork with black accordion gaiters along with a pair of chrome partially shrouded preload-adjustable shocks mounted to the swingarm. Stopping power is provided by a solid front disc and a rear drum brake. The brake fluid was flushed in 2024.
The chrome handlebar carries dual round mirrors and is secured to the upper triple clamp beneath a shroud that houses a row of indicator lights. Nippon Denso instrumentation consists of a 130-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 9,300-rpm redline. The five-digit odometer shows 11k miles.
The 544cc SOHC inline-four was factory rated at 50 horsepower and features a chrome four-into-four exhaust system, both kick and electric starters, and a quartet of Keihin carburetors. Service in preparation for the sale included changing the oil, replacing the battery and spark plugs, cleaning and synchronizing the carburetors, adjusting the cam chain tension and valve clearances, and setting the ignition timing.
Power is delivered to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission and a drive chain with a black upper guard.
An owner’s manual and a tool kit will accompany the motorcycle.
