Going for a ride
You want one of these, all others are crap or way overpriced. I priced a Yuasa last month @ $225 - never heard back from the shop either.
I'll get me a big red in a couple months, might get a couple for the truck too

The Sporties battery lasted 9 years, the T-Sport ('01) still has it's original battery.
My ironhead Sporty one lasted 9 years (and could still be going for all I know).

Yup, the first real cold snap of winter and blow-flies, batteries and old people die off...

Well I pulled the genuine Japanese Yuasa out of the YZF about 3 years back as I replaced it with a lighter one. . . and put it in the RF for another turn. That makes it 15 yrs old with irregular use. Mind you it might not last the winter, do you think I should ask my money back?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
on the up
The RF still has it's original battery in it... which makes it 12 years old at least.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
