Honda CB description

Selling my 1976 CB 550 


I had two bikes ( this and a 2 stroke GT 380) that I was going to fully restore, paint etc, however I opportunity to attain a Bmw r75 bike I had my eye on ever since I barn found it with a buddy 5 years ago. The Deal was hadn't done the build within 5 years, I get the bike. He's held his end. So unfortnetly I had to sell my Suzuki and now my Honda so in can do a ground up cafe build on the BMW.  

The Honda runs great, has character and typical petina and "marks of age " on it. 

Engine: timing was done, carbs cleaned and correctly jetted for the pod filters. Doesn't smoke and starts right up ( like any bike it likes alittle choke at first-- but idles right after) has typical slight oil seap left cylinder ( google it. They all do it and have done it since the 70's). Isn't an issue.  

Body: tires are brand new, forks are fine however don't know when they were last done so wouldn't hurt. Exhaust pipe had small hole in it due to previous owners tip over or car hit it into the axle nut ( patched up not the prettiest but works fine ) seat had small rip and repaired with matching tape ( can barley tell) tanks good, fuel lines good
Side panel has crack in it ( was accidentally smushed off the bike while repairing ) easy to glue up. Right side missing emblem 


Needs tlc and some small cosmetic repairs if you care about perfection.

Suzuka Eight Hour capers

Mon, 05 Sep 2011

Chatting to TT legend John McGuiness recently about his first Suzuka Eight Hour experience got me thinking of a few capers the boys and me managed a few years back at what is still Japan's most important race of the season. It is a unique event that starts at 11am and finishes at 7pm making  it a pukka endurance race as the last hour is run with headlights on in the dark. It is essentially an eight hour sprint that showcases the trickest endurance machinery and manufacturer’s sales can be affected the following year depending on who wins or loses.

We just kept parking them in this warehouse.
