The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike starting a range of SOHC Honda fours ranging from 350cc upwards. The 500 model followed shortly after the 750, bringing back memories of Mike Hailwood's Grand Prix bike of the late 1960s, eventually growing to 550cc in the mid 1970s.

This CB550 Four, being offered at no reserve, is from a deceased estate, so not much is known of its history. It is fitted with a period Motad 4 into 1 exhaust and has managed to keep its original grab rail, a part that very often goes missing. The bike has been stood for a number of years, but it will make an interesting winter project to restore to original or form the basis of a bespoke special. It will be supplied with a V5C. Please note, the engine appears to have been changed at some point in its life, as its number does not match the one shown on DVLA.
