Selling my beloved Honda cb550. She's a 1974 as you can see... far from original. I bought her in August 2013. This summer I bought a sport bike and I don't really need two lovers. The bike has been regularly serviced by me and Scott + Bob at Moto Classic Garage. Oil and filter changed every 3 months whether the bike was ridden or not. The bike was predominantly used for Sunday rides and spent long spells parked from December 2013 to February 2014, from July 2014 to October 2014, from January to August 2015 and from December to February 2016). Mainly because work kept me away from home. The good parts: Engine is good although there is an oil leak in the head gasket. Semi new tires (about 1000miles on it -- bought them in October 15). New Battery (October) New Rick's Motorsport Rectifier (January) New Rick's Motorsport solenoid (January) New Dyna performance Coils 5OHM and Electronic ignition (I also kept the points). Whole bike was Rewired in August 2015 Changed Forks and Brakes oil in August 2016 Velocity stacks 4 into 1 mac pipes with saw off muffler. Spare work-in-progress tank, under the seat pan, extra cafe racer headlight + original lights. Customized seat. Plenty of other spare parts including still sealed brake pads, different handlebar, 2 sets of different filters and original dials. Taxed until June 2016. Mechanically the bike has been perfect, she is relatively fast, light and zippy. She can be taken all the way to full café racer convertion but I never had the guts to saw off parts of the frame. The bad parts it's 42 years old... so you have to take that into consideration when you buy a motorcycle like that. If you think you can hop on and ride her to San Francisco in one go. . .look at a new bike. This is a real cool bike, a head turner, the real deal not fake/modern cafe racer. The bike has been very reliable, letting me down only twice. She does however have a charging problem that started in August I still haven't fully resolved. The battery doesn't seem to hold full charge so if you buy her please beware that's something you will need to address immediately. Since she was working perfectly before I do believe it must be a wire contact. My English is not perfect but I don't need to flee the country because of Trump and I have a garage. Not in a rush. $3500 cash
