Years ago I used a 550 F1 for many continental trips and remember it as a good reliable bike that was good for solo touring but a bit underpowered two up. It never let me down (which is more than I could say for a friends Trident T150 when we travelled together). I don't remember it suffering from brake squeal though. Usually a smear of something like copaslip on the back of the pads should be enough to stop it, but some makes of pads are more prone to it than others. Are you using Honda pads or another make?
