I know it's the latest most high tech battery out there but the cost is over triple a standard battery. Will you get three times the life? I don't know. But even if it does it's a break even situation. What would be the gain? It's not like the bike will be driven off road and the battery will be sideways at times :-) Just saying.

I'm happy with mine. I got the 6 cell for $169.00 at North Valley Honda/Kawasaki in Phoenix. I have a LoJack + an R-Link security system so this is my 3rd battery. My second was a Tru-Gel at $130.00. I wanted one that would last longer than 18 months. The new lithiums are supposed to hold up well in the desert heat and last 5 years or more. (also have 400+ CCA). By my research, they are cheaper annually than a standard battery and I'm looking forward to not changing it for a while.
P.S. I think the 10 pounds lighter must refer to a car size battery since a motorccycle battery only weighs about that much.

Thanks for the info. You mentioned you got the 6 cell, that one is powerful enough? After visiting the web, it suggested the 16 Cell HD, would that be overkill?

I've been buying Yuasa batteries for a long time.
I've always been happy with the price and the longevity. This new battery is interesting, but I wouldn't buy it. JMO
