Consider this, the Porsche 911 Turbo is one of the hardest accelerating cars that can be purchased today. It is considered a ferociously fast car and it blows passengers away when they experience it's maximum acceleration. The 0-60 and quarter mile times for that $185,000 Porsche are almost identical to the times for the CB1100. Both go 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and run the quarter in about 11.5 seconds.
The CB1100 is Supercar fast, but it's not Superbike fast. Cheers.

Apologies if this is a repost.
An interesting drag race, on an airstrip between a Porsche 918, a McLaren P1 and a Ducati 1199 Superleggera.
Amazingly, off the line, it is the Porsche and NOT the bike that leads !
at 110 mph the bike pulls away to the lead..
at 192 mph the Ducati hits its rev limiter and falls behind as a result
above that the McLaren pushes past the Porsche.
fascinating !

anyway.. the low-end grunt of a proper big inch four is one of the greatest things about the CB1100.. add to that the killer styling, I love it.
