| Honda's CBX550 has no conflict of roles: it was built from the ground upi to be a sports bike. Dave Calderwood indulges in a little TT-mania... a// in the course of duty as a tester, of course was now, at last, okay to reflect upon a mad day. Occasionally, all hell breaks i loose on Bike's normally laidback organisation (huh!) and usually it's when j there's a tight deadline to be met plus some other fantastically attractive incentive. Add in the Isle of Man TT week and, boy, you've gotta total freak out. To make sure that the Honda CBX550 was here, between my legs heading up to Heysham to embark aboard the midnight boat, was a masterpiece of careful: manipulation | |
