When did the Honda CB550F Super Sport come out?
In the UK Honda kept selling 500/4s until 1975 and didn’t include the 550/4 in its catalogue until 1976. The range began with the CB550F Super Sport, a machine popular with British buyers. This had a single colour paint job, a bigger tank, lower bars and a four-into-one (4-1) exhaust system, mirroring the popular CB400/4.

The CB550F featured slightly lower handlebars, rising only about two inches above the head stock.
What was the first model of Honda CB550?
