Description
Honda CBX550 F2 (1985) – Classic Ready to Ride | MOT’d to 2025
This is a well-cared-for example of the iconic Honda CBX550 F2, with just 17, 500 miles on the clock and a stack of recent work. From September, this bike becomes tax and MOT exempt under UK historic vehicle rules – a true modern classic.
It’s also surprisingly cheap to insure, even for newer riders (I’m proof of that). Despite its 572cc engine, the classic status kept premiums low.
