Hardly anybody had much bad to say about the Honda 500 Four. So why did Honda enlarge its bores by 2.5 millimeters to make a 550? There are several reasons. First, and probably the least important, is the presence of Suzuki's 550 - Honda doesn't want to lose any sales over a piffling 50ccs. Second, the consumer will be more likely to absorb the price increase to $1,600 without squawking if he's digging deeper for a different motorcyck--not the same old 500. Third, the extra displacement-tiny volume that it is (a guppy could barely turn around in a 50ce fishbowl)-actually adds a noticeable amount of mid-range power and torque.
