I'm not 100% certain on the 550/500's but the 650 weighs in the region of 75kg, I would assume the 550/500 would be similar.

500s are a touch lighter than the 650, but not enough to change the freight budget.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

According to the Honda Shop Manual CB500-550 (p. 136 and 138) the CB500 engine weighs 69 kg (152 lb.) and the CB550's 72 kg (159 lb.).
