Topic: Scanned copy of CB550 Performance Portfolio?

[DrMark]

Does anyone have a scanned copy of the CB550 Performance Portfolio they are willing to share? I have checked all the local stores in my area....no copies available. 2 of the stores have no record of it in their catalogues...can't even order one. Even local library (searched the inter-library share program)...no copies in the state of Iowa. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dr.Mark

That's the one.  I bought mine on eBay UK - there's one there right now at £13.95 buy-it-now.

I don't think that scanning would work as the book is a bunch of old road tests and some are not the best of copies.  Cheaper to buy the book.

Interesting reading.

FWIW, I have the "Honda CB750 Gold Portfolio". As an obsessed CB750 memorabilia collector, I also have some of the original magazines whose articles were reprinted in the book. One day I decided to cross check them, and with great surpirse I found that some of them are incomplete in the book.

The reprint is a copy&paste in the traditional sense. The original articles were split in columns, sometimes with advertising included. The editors of the book cut the columns to make them fit into pages, but if an article needed some extra lines, they didn't use the next page. They simply.... drop that extra espace altogether, or some previous one until the article could be fit exactly into the pages assigned.
