The four cylinder Honda CBX 550F is low, lean and compact. There's no comparison between the CBX engine and that fitted to Honda's 1976 CB550F. It has been slimmed by mounting a chain driven generator behind the cylinder block. In technical terms it's got the lot. Double overhead cams, sixteen valves and a 9.5:1 compression ratio produce 62bhp at 10,000rpm and 34lb.ft of torque at 8500rpm. Bore and stroke are 59.2 x 52mm giving a displacement of 572cc.
Kept in production for only one year, since 1981 until 1982, the CBX 550 F came with an air cooled, four stroke, 572cc engine which developed 65 horsepower at 10000rpm.
