Most of the batteries I've seen mentioned in this thread seem to be in the $200+ range.
Even a Yuasa YTZ14S for the CB1100 lists for around $200 in Canada and that is just a typical Factory Activated/Maintenance Free type. Sure, Batterymart.com has them for less, but by the time you factor in international shipping via UPS, duty and brokerage, it works out to $200+.
What happened to the days of motorcycle batteries costing between $50 and $75? And, what justifies the expense?
