1976 Honda CB550 FOR SALE
1976 Honda CB550 Cafe Racer
I just had a baby so I don’t get much of a chance to ride it anymore. This means the cafe racer needs a new home, preferably with someone who knows how to turn a wrench. The bike is ready to go. The last thing it needs is paint. The bike only has 8604 miles on it so the engine is rock solid. This is a great bike, try to find one with less miles. Come over and take a look at it.
For the last two years I’ve written about this bike here at austincaferacer.com.
Everything is in here, so if you want a more intimate perspective on this bike read through the blog.
Or if you just want to thumb through photos here is a link to a photo gallery: http://gallery.me.com/markgutierrez#100142

Dyna-S Electronic ignition
4 into 1 MAC exhaust

Jason… bike is sold
I just read pretty much your entire blog after doing a search on the CB 550 and your site came up. The fact that you’re in Austin caught my eye, as I’m here as well. I’m looking for my first bike and it may be a CB 550. I can’t believe your bike sold for $2,900, after looking around for over a month, it looks to me like someone got a great bike at a great deal! Thanks for posting all of your work so clearly. If I end up with a CB 550 then I’m sure I’ll reference this site again. Cheers, Lance
