Read a great article in Motorcycle Consumer News about the Odyssey Battery. Very good report, and although spendy, I thought they claimed they will last 5+ years with proper care and battery tender. Can't remember specifics, but it was a very positive article. MCN doesn't accept any advertising $, and they provide very objective and honest reporting as a result. I'm getting 3-4 from my HD with Battery Tender. For what it's worth.
