I saw a primo CB550 while I was on my bicycle about an hour ago. Sharp. Green metallic. Sounded great, pretty straight bike.

That's pretty much true. Even Honda was responsible for the death of many of their own greatest motorcycles simply because they couldn't turn the 1/4 mile as fast as the CB750. For example, the CB450 and CB350 twins were both faster than the 750 on crooked roads and on top end the CB550 Four could leave the 750 way behind but the quarter mile was the measuring stick that drove and pretty much still drives the performance market. And until the big KZs came along the CB750 dominated much of that market.
I grew up around drag racing, but the $/seat time ratio was just too damn high. I was used to paying $15 to enter an MX race, then have 3 heats and a main, roughly 45 minutes of racing. $10 to go drag racing and spend maybe 5 minutes racing (with an enormous expenditure to do anything past bracket racing) only in a straight line just didn't trip my trigger. A couple of friends got badly injured street racing and a whole lot more either lost their licenses or had gigantic insurance premiums, so I stayed away from that for the most part.
I quit MXing to chase girls, with mixed success. I hooked a few, but threw back a whole lot more than I kept.
I wish I had a salt flat nearby.
