The final-year CB550F Super Sport kept the four-into-one exhaust and sporty riding position of the earlier F, with only cosmetic detail changes such as revised tank graphics and the deletion of fork gaiters. Period comparison tests rated it the strongest of the middleweight sport bikes, though also the priciest.
