VERY NICE 1975 HONDA CB550 FROM SECOND OWNER (MY NEIGHBOR HERE IN DUDLEY MA., HE HAS OWNED IT SINCE 1983) I DONT WANT TO KEEP IT BECAUSE I NEED SOME MONEY RIGHT NOW... ORANGE METALLIC CANDY STYLE PAINT IS ORIGINAL, THE TANK HAS A BIT OF OXIDATION WHICH COULD BE RUBBED OUT, AND THERE IS A SMALL GAS SPILL STAIN NEAR THE FILL. INSIDE THE TANK IS FLAWLESS THE SIDE COVERS ARE VERY GOOD WITH ALL TABS INTACT!!! THE CLUTCH PERFORMES PERFECTLY, AS WELL AS THE BRAKES 16,826 REAL MILES, WHEN HE BOUGHT IT IT HAD 10K MILES IN 1983 STARTS UP BEUTIFULY BUT THE CHOKE CIRCUIT COULD BE CLEANED, BUT NOT NESECERRY, IT RUNS AWESOME. I HAVE OWNED A FEW JAPANESE BIKES IN MY DAY AND THIS ONE IS THE SMOTHEST RUNNING AND SHIFTING BIKE EVER, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN A MOTORCYCLE IS BEAT ON, THE SHIFTING CAN BE HARD, THIS ONE SHIFTS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN AND OUT OF ALL GEARS AND FINDING NEUTRAL IS AS IF IT WERE BRAND NEW THE BATTERY COULD BE A BIT RUN DOWN, IF IT SEEMS DDRAINED. WHEN YOU PICK IT UP I WILL GIVE YOU 40 DOLLARS CASH TO BUTY A NEW ONE, THE STARTER IS FAST AND STRONG OTHERWISE THERE IS NO STUMBLE OR HESITATION, IT RIDES THRU THE GEARS AT RPM FLAWLESSLY. IT RUNS SO GOOD YOU CAN LOWER THE IDLE SUPER LOW AND IT SOUNDS COOL, ALL CYLS RUN WELL ALL THE LIGHTS, SIGNALS, HORN, BRAKES WORK PERFECTLY THE GRIPS ARE OLD AIR STYLE AND FEEL FINE THE TACK AND SPEEDO WORK PERFCTLY THE TIRES ARE 2 YEARS OLD AND HAVE LESS THAN A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON THEM THE SEAT HAS A COUPLE TEARS ON THE SEAMS, NOT BAD AT ALL I HAVE 2 KEYS SEAT PAN IS PERFECT THE EXHAUST PIPES ARE REAL GOOD AFTER THEY COME OUT OF THE ENGINE, (SOME SURFACE RUST), THE ARE VERY GOOD TOWARDS THE BACK WITH ONE EXCEPTION, ON SMALL HOLE NEAR THE LEFT SIDE REAR PEG AS SEEN IN ONE OF THE PICS NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN MODIFIED TO THIS BIKE EVER! EXCEPT FOR AN ADDED SISSY BAR AND A CRASH BAR THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE BIKE FOR YEARS, WHICH I WILL INCLEDE WITH THE BIKE, SORRY, A NEW UNI FILTER WAS INSTALLED LAST YEAR.
