Hi Flick - while I hate to turn away SOHC enthusiasts, you'll be far better off on sohc4.net as they are mostly in the US and like building cafe racers!

I'm off to deepest Dartmoor for a week with no internet, no PC and no mobile phone!

If there's any spam, please report it in the normal way and I'll deal with it on my return.

Likewise, any delayed registrations (sometimes they get caught up in the spammer filters) I will deal with then.

Where are you in Mddx?

Post some pictures so that we can see what you are talking about.

While the CBX550 is a great bike in its own right, it is not a SOHC engine and is effectively Honda's "next generation" middleweight. As Bryan says, it never caught on.

I had one that MCN borrowed and ran up against a CBR600RR a while back. They were amazed at the dyno and dragstrip performance.

It is here. Go to Gallery and CBX550FII

I've tried to post a pic of the bike, but it's too big and I don't have the IT skills to compress it, even with the help of Google and the various free sites out there !  I'll get there eventually.
Hi Dave,
Try opening the picture in Paint then click on Image in the toolbar. There you have an option to resize the image. I generally start at a 50% reduction and see what size file that is. If OK, save as to your desktop where it's ready for using as an attachment.
Hope this helps !  

Or get the Microsoft Image Resizer widget from their website:
Here's the XP version

I had a VFR800 Fi-1 (it's an RC46). It was a good bike - but I prefer my Sprint!

A friend of mine bought a 400/4 from this guy.

Difficult to value a bike like this - still,

On the subject of swapping parts and part numbers, there's loads written over the years in the FAQ on .net

Including this (attached) which I have uploaded separately.

How different are the numbers - I believe that the last three digits merely designate the supplier at the time (?)

I am tempted but would struggle to get my 500 on the road by then (broken gearbox, no MOT, SORN) but will show up on my Sprint if all else fails.

So who has seen my 550 in Practical Sportsbikes?
