Hard to let them go with all the work put into them.

How powerful is that 550 compared to our xs650?
4 pistons, each fires alone? I think I saw an example of a straight 4 where 2 outside pistons fire then 2 inside. That would essentially be like a two cylinder.

The XJ550 is definitely quicker than the XS650 with 17/34 sprockets. A water skiing buddy had one. Way back then, we used to race back to town from the lake. I could reel him in keeping WOT, but I needed lots of room to do it. XJ bikes had a good bit of technological advancement.
 
1st and 2nd are rather high but once in 3rd - 6th it goes pretty good. Cruises very nice in 6th
