Something those bikes were (and still are) known for. Almost every CB650 you
find will have a dark area on the fins just under the head on one side. It's
a dead (from age) oil seal that looks bad but doesn't leak enough oil to be
worth the effort of a full engine rebuild to fix it... (Keep track of your
oil level, and if the leak becomes more significant, time for that rebuild.)

You are so right. Virtually every SOHC Honda four I've owned has had a
dark area on one side of the head gasket or the other. My current 400
does, too. And as you say, it never looks bad enough to justify a
tear-down. Never has got that bad, either.
