I have the best of both worlds, FZ1 and a 1976 KH500. I ride them for different reasons but both put a smile on my face. With the old bikes a lot of it is down to recapturing your youth and memories, but the GT550 could be a bit too civilised (and dare I say boring) compared to the Kawasaki triples, hence they go for less money.
Buy a tidy rider for about £2k (they are out there) and restore it at your leisure and keep the FZ1. Owners clubs and forums are the best place to get bargains. Stay clear of eBay.
