Honda followed its sensational CB750 with a range of smaller fours, the first of which - the CB500 - appeared in 1971. The half-litre newcomer was just as well specified as its larger brother, boasting an overhead-camshaft engine, five-speed gearbox, electric starter and disc front brake. Upping the engine capacity by 10 percent, the CB550 offered the same blend of performance and civility when it first arrived in the USA in 1973. UK buyers had to wait another three years to sample it, by which time the model had been joined by the CB550F, with 4-into-1 exhaust and sportier styling. Bike magazine considered the CB550 "one of the better bikes to emerge from Honda's design team in recent years". The passage of time has, inevitably, transformed what was once a cutting-edge sports bike into an increasingly collectible classic.
