With the exception of the June 1975 anomaly,  it looks like - from this small sample - they took summers off after 1973.

Thanks for the Tally so far.
It is starting to look like they took periods of time off with the 550's.

Still hoping more guys and girls will add there info to the list.
There are so many 550's talked about on the list, so still hoping.

Thanks,

Charlie

It seems like Honda took summers pretty much off as far as the 550's go.
Hoping this proves wrong.
