Honda CB550F Super Sport certified rides

#1
Hello,

I searched "World's Toughest Ride Finishers" https://www.ironbutt.org/certified.htm using the find option in my browser for Honda CB550F. I used various search terms such as CB 550, 550, and CB550. As of the last update on 10/21/17, I could not find anyone riding this model bike of bike on a certified ride.

I did not do the search prior to my ride. Unless someone can find a record of a previous rider using this bike, I could be the first one to do a certified ride on this bike. I am a little amazed that that would happen for a bike produced from 1974-1978.

I don't think it's that surprising. It was only produced for four or five years at a time when the Iron Butt Association didn't exist. I don't know how many were produced, but I would guess that that many. It was based in the CB500, and there are quite a number of those listed on the finishers list.

That said, good on you!

Ira,

Thanks for the reply. My guess is that the CB500s listed are the newer DOHC variety.
