FEATURES:
An outstanding example of Honda’s 1977 CB550F Super Sport, finished in Candy Presto Red with gold pinstriping and showing just 2,100 original miles. This CB550F reportedly remained with its first owner until 2021, when it was acquired by the selling dealer, making it a rare survivor from Honda’s golden age of inline-four performance motorcycles.

Powered by a 544cc SOHC inline-four, this Super Sport delivers around 50 horsepower through a five-speed transmission. The engine features both kick and electric starters, four Keihin carburetors, and a chrome-finished four-into-one exhaust system, providing a distinctive sound and smooth performance.

The classic design includes chrome fenders, wire-spoke wheels (19″ front, 18″ rear), and Bridgestone tires. Suspension is handled by a telescopic front fork and twin preload-adjustable chrome rear shocks, while braking comes from a front disc and rear drum combination. Both center and side stands are fitted, enhancing convenience and authenticity.

The black vinyl two-up seat features a grab strap, rear grab bar, and a helmet holder. Brightwork throughout remains in excellent condition, showing only minor imperfections such as a small ding on the left side of the fuel tank above the Honda badge and light staining on the right side of the muffler.

Instrumentation includes a Nippon Seiki 130-mph speedometer, matching tachometer, and a set of indicator lights mounted behind chrome mirrors on the handlebar.

Recent maintenance performed in preparation for sale includes:

Replacement of fork seals and fluid

Synchronization of four Keihin carburetors

Oil change

New battery and spark plugs

Brake fluid flush

This CB550F Super Sport is offered with an owner’s manual, tool kit, and a clean Wisconsin title.

A remarkably original, low-mileage survivor — combining Honda’s hallmark engineering refinement, smooth power delivery, and classic 1970s styling. Perfect for collectors or enthusiasts seeking an authentic, ready-to-ride example of Honda’s iconic mid-size four.”
