    Battery Town are a buying group (maybe a franchise) Anyway, each Battery Town place is independantly owned and they can (and do) set their own prices.

    Arrow hey

    a top quality battery will probably cost that much and will probably last much longer. You should be able to buy a cheaper battery, the last one I brought was for the 92 cb400f2 and it was a good'un costing $120-00.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    Try to enquire from barry.lenton@xtra.co.nz. I bought two new batteries from him for my GSXR750 and CBR400RR from him recently and happy with it ~$60 each.

    $160 sounds right for a YUASA (also the manufacturer's recommended replacement).

    Try Budget Motorcycles on Wilsons Rd (north end off Ferry Rd) if you're in a pinch.
    My FXR runs a sealed battery too. For some unknown reason they just do cost heaps more because at the end of the day, they're still a lead acid battery.

    Suzuki quoted $120 with three months cover. Brand YUASA.
    Budget quoted $60 with twelve months cover. Brand HiVolt.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
