Honda 550 K Four (1978) in Duluth, Minnesota For Sale

Beautiful, low mileage consignment motorcycle. (12,023 miles) Excellent paint and chrome. Original Vetter Windjammer fairing with lowers. Starts and runs perfectly. It's all in great shape. Ride with or without fairing. (More pictures are available upon request)
Tires and battery should be replaced prior to serious road work. Tires are original and have become weather checked. Nice to display but not road-worthy. Battery post is broken from over-tightening. It works, but replacement is advised. I have connections for either period original or modern tires if you need assistance in procuring. Also batteries. Discount pricing and mounting if desired.
Historical information:
The Honda CB550 was a 544 cc four-cylinder standard motorcycle made by Honda from xxxx to xxxx. It is a development of the earlier CB500, and like its predecessor, the original CB550K had 4 exhaust pipes and 4 silencers. The CB550K went through some minor iterations, the last being the CB550K4. Shortly after the CB550K was introduced, a second version of the CB550 was offered, the CB550F "Super Sport".
The "K" and "F" versions were sold alongside each other. Mechanically, the "K" and "F" versions were similar, sharing the same engine, tank, seat, instruments, lights, wheels, brakes and frame. The main differences were that the "F" had a lighter 4-into-I exhaust/silencer kit, fewer chrome trimmings, different side-panels and slightly flatter handlebars. Whereas the 'K" was in the styling tradition of the xxxx Honda CB750, slotting into the Honda range as its junior companion, the "F" formed part of the Honda Super Sport range, the CB400F, CB550F and CB750F. Both F & K models had a drum rear brake and a single front disc brake, although each fork slider had a bracket for a brake caliper.
The CB550 was based closely on the earlier wet sump CB500, and was the largest factory boring of this SOHC air-cooled cylinder block. Having a few visual similarities to the dry sump CB750, the CB550 was much smaller and lighter. The 50 bhp (37 kW) @ 8,500 rpm.
