Blame James From Sussex !
« on: January 05, 2016, 05:36:43 PM »
Hi I`m Geoff, I live in Bognor Regis (the posh bit).I currently have 2008 Vmax V4, (as new original 2,000 mile), 1999 TL1000S V2,(one owner 3,000 mile), 1987 NS400R V3(restored by previous owner and mint), RD125 aircooled twin (I restored) and RD200 aircooled twin that I bought already restored.

I was hankering after something to tinker with and take out to local classic meets occasionally. The above are all done and sorted and no tinkering required. Been looking at loads of stuff from various manufacturers and 2 stroke plus 4 stroke. I suddenly realised that my collection was missing an inline 4 ! Today I went to see James and have struck a deal on his orange CB550 K0. Really looking forward to detailing it further and getting out on it come spring. Haven`t had an SOHC Honda since about 1986 when I had the 2nd of my 400/4 ACD 699T which was sold a few months ago locally on Ebay so is still about. My previous one was OUT 492R.

Great to meet you today Geoff and glad the 550's going to a loving home. This is a great forum and community here, very active and supportive. Exactly what a forum should be.
