- Italian model of this naked bike of 80's, looks classical, but is still extremely powerfull, two floating double piston calipers in front, one (floating double piston) at the rear wheel
- The tuned MACH exhaust is probably pushing it stronger then with those 42 bhp, sounds excellent at 14000 rpm
The tuned MACH exhaust was the BEST choice...
1983 HONDA CBX 550 F (prod. year 1982), 572ccm; 60 bhp (44 kW) at 10,000 rpm
- This is all stock HONDA CBX 550 FD model, the most powerfull version imported to Europe (and I guess most powerfull version ever produced...)
- The max speed is 205 km/h (lying on the tank and praying)
- Some technical features here -this document is copied from Andrew Mattocks' page
Now let's have a closer look at the motor of 550 with new crankshaft , connecting rods, bearings, pistonns, rings and cylinders. The rest of the motor parts as you can see are used.
And what about the prerformance?
Well it is an older type of frame, and so some waving at high speed turns usually appears, however the breaks are good enough, and the motor... is just a dream!
