This raises an interesting wee sideline. Car batteries, sit on the shelf for quite a while at times. Ya know what the reps do? They come round once a month and replace the date sticker on anything sitting for more than a couple. Your warranty is usually valid from that sticker date.
So, do bike batteries have the same treatment?
Motobatt in my RF has been there for three years. The bike gets fuck all use, but when I charged it after draining it flat starting my CBR400 powered lawnmower, it was slow turning over the RF which had sat for several months. It did start it, and it took a while for the bike to fire up though.
