I had something similar happen to my CB750 - the battery was happy when the bike was running, but wouldn't hold charge (even after longer rides at higher revs, etc) and therefore wouldn't restart. Batteries can also "regenerate" some charge after cooling/resting, and this might put you over the threshold for starting at that point. In any case, replacing the battery solved the issue; I've had no problem along these lines for more than a year.
That said, if you can start after a rest (engine cold), but not immediately after a ride (engine warm), I'd think engine and fuel system. Which I'm not experienced enough to figure out, although perhaps a veteran wrencher could put his 0.02% in.
