Selling CB550F1 The Carrot

Hi All,

Unfortunately I will now be selling my CB550F1.

I know it’s going to end up just sitting here for long periods and it needs to be used.

It’s a UK bike from new and has had a load of work done on it (big folder of receipts etc).

V5 in my name and registered as Historic for road tax purposes.

The bike rides very well and is in very good condition. That said things can always be improved.

I have had Rex from Victory Motorcycles in North London go through it top to bottom plus full service and MOT.

Only done about 50 miles since rebuild so still needs bedding in. (I’m trying to do this).

Currently running with foam individual pods and is jetted accordingly.

Carbs very recently cleaned and balanced.

I have unmarked/unpainted new side covers on it and have a couple of spare sets (1 set original) that need stripping etc and will throw those in. These were made by a guy on eBay and look/fit well albeit a bit tight.

There are two batteries one gel (came with the bike and holds good charge) one AGM (new).

Loads of spare fuses and a few instrument bulbs.

Tail/brake light has LED fitted and will throw in a spare bulb.

New fuse box just fitted.

New electronic ignition set.

This is not a project bike and is ready to ride.

I’m not in a rush to sell and will ride it when I can.

£4000.

Not on the market for one at the moment, but good luck with the sale!

Paddy65:
Cheers Johnny. As I say no rush will keep using when I can.

They are great bikes.

I thought site policy on items for sale was the inclusion of a price?

Although I'm not looking for a bike at the moment some photos would be good as would the asking price. Can't tell anyone who might be in the market what a nice bike it is without the details.

A photo paints a thousand words.

Paddy65:
Hi Ted

Good point! My fault didn’t realise a price was policy. I will adjust accordingly.

As for the pictures I’m struggling to upload them? I’m not great at this stuff and am a bit confused.

Every time I try to upload it times out?

Paddy
