Terrible picture I know but my favorite bike was my '74 CB550 Four. Had her when I was17 (2007) and it was the coolest bike ever in my opinion. Rode it everywhere! Even at 6'4 and 195lbs it was fast! Flat out and laying on the tank I could hit 125mph. I'm sure I looked silly on it but I didn't care it was fun Cool

I had that same bike for my first "real" bike. Same color and all except mine had the 4/4 exhaust. I loved that bike, wish I still had it. Never could get triple digit speed out of it though, this 5,500 ft altitude really kills power. I wish my CB11 handled as good as that 550. Hard to believe its been 35 yrs. since I had that bike.

' I like to think that a bigger cam and some carb work were responsible for the speed, but it probably had more to do with the inaccurate speedos of the day
