The CB is a beautiful, well- designed machine and a fine backroad 'momentum' bike once up to speed, but is never going to be an outright performance bike. It would cost $5000 or more to make it even close to what you are looking for. IMHO, buy the CB for what it is, enjoy it, and buy a 10 year old Fireblade/ CBR 1000 for $5000 for hooning, and you'll be done.
