The first version, the CB550K, was a development of the earlier CB500, and like its predecessor, had four exhaust pipes, four silencers and wire-spoked wheels.
The CB550K shared some visual similarities with the CB750, and it fitted into Honda’s four-cylinder range as its mid-capacity bike.From 1975 to 1977, a second version of the CB550 was offered, the CB550F “Super Sport”.
