So essentially this inline 4 can be revd higher and gets there faster?

You can describe it this way.
To give you an idea I post some numbers:

Honda VT 1100 C2 Honda CB1100 (2013)

O-100km/h 6,1sec 4,0sec

60-100km/h 7,9sec 50-120km/h 8,5sec

Topspeed 158km/h 180km/h limited

86 Nm at 2.500/min 90Nm at 5.000/min

50 PS at 4.500/min 90 PS at 7.500/min

1099ccm 1140ccm

Numbers on paper show a lot, the experienced
reality shows more.

Ok so not to beat a dead horse and then im done after this one (again thank you) so basically my 290lb self will be scootin off to the next traffic light noticeably faster than a vtwin cruiser of the same size?

[Mscb1100_imp]

Yes
I'm a comparable weight and it is will handle your weight off the line easily

Sweet. I mean it was comfortable sitting on it and apparently its faster than my cruisers now its just wether or not i pull the trigger with maybe 3 weeks left of enjoyable riding weather here. Decisions decisions.

My previous bike was the torque monster stratoliner 1900.

The forst thing i noticed when test riding the cb was how torquey it was. Love it. Love taking it 2 up too. Will never get rid of it.

engine
smaller mass (piston) can be moved faster, fast movement is performance/power (timefactor)

bigger mass dont like fast move specaly by long stroke but it has earlier (at lower rpm) more torque.....and torque you need basical for to move something

and now make the power-timefactor bill:

example
4x 300ccm (small piston mass)
and
2x 600ccm
