i wonder why the CB is very heavy 540 - 575 lbs wet?

It seems heavy compared to modern bikes, but it's about the same weight as your average late 70s / early 80s UJM liter bike. An air cooled liter bike with a steel double down tube frame, heavy stock exhaust system and chrome steel fenders should be expected to weigh over 500 lbs.
By comparison, an 80s Kaw KZ1100 weighed almost 600 lbs., an '80 Suzi GS1100E was 564 lbs and a '78 Yammie XS1100 weighed in at 569 lbs.
