im buying this cb550 from my friend for next to nothing. I was wondering what the difference was between the cb750 and the cb550, I mean frame, motor, trans, suspension. I haven't ridden it yet but it is super clean all it needs are new points which are almost as much as what Im buying the bike for. I already have a cb750, the cb750 I was making a bobber/cafe styled bike out of and Im thinking a full race inspired theme for the 550. is the 550 that much slower power wise than the 750?? how about the weight of the cb550 vs the cb750?? pretty much Im going to upgrade the suspension, cut as much weight as possible put really sticky tires on her and throw it in some corners and have fun with it.
if you would do a cafe racer which would you pick, Im thinking the 750 for the obvious displacement advantages and just cruise the hell out of the 550.
