Title: Hello new CB550 owner
Post by: Jond99 on July 26, 2025, 12:53:02 PM

Hi

New to the world of SOHC’s having recently picked up a 1975 K1.

It’s in great condition, but being 50yr old some jobs to do. Looking forward to learning lots of new information about these bikes.

Yes it’s an import, originally from the US.

I guess the plus side is that it’s not dissolved as it would have if it had been in the UK for 50yrs.
