Except for lithium ion ones, all bike batteries use acid, even AGM. They just are filled from an acid 6-pack by the dealer (or factory) and that acid turns into a gel when absorbed. They then get sealed and won't lose any water - maintenance free.
The stock CB1100 batteries (YTZ14S) are acid filled and charged at the factory and likely will last the longest.

Mine lasted exactly 2 years. It died without warning on my CB11's second birthday
