CB500/550/650

-

Engine: 500-650cc four-stroke OHC fours Weight: 201-212kg Year: 1972-1985 500 arguably the best of the 350/500/750 bunch, usefully augmented by an additional 50cc and 10% more torque as the CB550. Several different styles and possibly the first ‘UJM’ (Universal Japanese Motorcycle). Later 650 is a massively overlooked machine and potentiall­y the best route into earlier SOHC Japanese classics. All electric start.
