    Get yourself a Shido Lithium YTZ7S save you some weight and cost about £63.00 on ebay :)

    I've bougt Motobatt in the past. Been good for the money but they don't last as long as Yuasa and both died suddenly.

    Fitted to my old V2 Tuono

    Cranked way harder than the previous Yuasa (essential with 1000cc V2 and Italian electrics) so would pick Motobatt over Yuasa.....but I'm with the others, if i was replacing a battery now I would go for a lithium.

    If you use the bike in the winter I would stay away from the lithium as I find them lazy to start when the temperature drops off.
    Will be looking for something like the Motobatt for the winter months myself.
