1979 Honda CB550 Four review from United Kingdom
"A typical classic Honda"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Head gasket needed replacing on purchase.
New batteries and bulbs occasionally, rear sprocket shock rubbers, rear suspension renewed, tyres and a horn.

A nice relatively comfortable bike, which has been very reliable.
