Uphill battle....not!

So I recently bought a barely used standard 2013 cb1100. Put 100 miles on it first day out, 2nd day the battery died,but thankfully the dealer was nearby, picked it up with their van, drove me home and replaced the battery with a new one, then delivered the bike all at no charge. Now that I have some time to ride it I have to say this is an amazing machine. I've had cruisers b4 and also a 2003 Z1000 and a 2005 Z750s. You had to rev the z's to get real power i.e downshift and then they moved, especially the z1000 which was insane after 7000rpm.
THIS bike however has power almost whenever you need it, I never would have guessed an inline 4 would pull so hard at low rpms. Also, I was amazed that going up a fairly long steep incline on hwy 80 in the Sierra foothills I opened it up in top gear going 80 and this thing pulled hard to 90+ with my 330 pound bulk on it really fast. I am so darn happy with this bike!!!!!!!!!!! Worlds best kept secret when it comes to great motorcycles?

The best air-cooled inline-4 I have ever ridden.

Welcome, Crazyirv, from a bit north of you in the Chico area. Yeah, one of my favorite things is taking this machine up a hill. I should say letting it take me up a hill.

Shhhhhh ! Also, I think we need a secret handshake for this forum

[Lord Popgun]

if you have RLETS there is a secret handshake. Ferret will show you at the next rally. You must not tell Redbirds or any non-RLET bike owner

+ ...Forum's magic, even without knowing permanent address, I got it....
Please clarify, I worry if I met a CB/RLET owner, I would not receive a handshake?
