They’re usually in the $40-$50 ballpark, delivered. I keep my bikes connected to Battery Tenders when not ridden and these cheapo no-name batteries last 7-8 years with no issue.
exactly my experience, no need to do much research

My riding reduced drastically due to the pandemic and in Jun 2020, the bike would just not crank. I trickle charged the battery and got it to work again - but I was always concerned it would stop working when I was away from home.
I finally replaced the battery with a NoCo Lithium battery in Nov 2021 (around $100). No issues so far. I also got the [url=https://no.co/gbc007]GBC007 cable which would get you a pig tail connection for jump starting the battery using a NoCo jump starter.
Fortunately in a pinch, the CB1100 can still be push (or bump) started.
.......... downhill, but don’t try it unless you’re the sporty type of rider
