The "Fliying French Horn" (as I believe it was affectionately called) CB550 was & is still to this day one very finely styled machine. Definitely much more delicate & properly proportioned vs. its larger relative CB750, which wasn't so bad itself. The combination of the longer tank, bright red (is that Porsche "Gaurds Red"?), down-bars & four flat black exhaust is just painfully good looking.
Ummmm.....I'll take the top one! :)

(ie: model #, $$$, comfort, quality, etc)I'm always looking for ways to make my CX100's saddle more ergo-comfy...Presently I have the Stucchi / Gaman dual, which is OK...However, I had never heard of Sargent making a seat for the early Moto Guzzi LeMans series

The Sargent seat and the bub pipes were on the bike when i got it.Looks nice but it is hard and not that comfortable.I have Richard Maund seats on my V11 Sport and on my Darmah - much better option.
GuzziJack,The Zagato/Guzzi hits me right where I live. That really is the stuff, isn't it? So elemental...just hit and nail, dead center. Funny story: I found that famous Davida ad on the floor of the pressroom at the Munich show a few years back, covered with footprints. While all my mates were out lifting pints I was back in my room, trying to wipe it off. Good paper; I got it all clean and it has lived happily on my shop wall ever since. Where is Ben Part now, and what is he doing?
