After going out today and getting virtually nothing at all when trying to start the bike, and after charging it numerous times I've decided I need a new battery.

Just wondered what batteries are recommended and does it make any difference which one I choose? Found these two which seem like a good price.

Bike is a 1991 Honda CBR 600.

I sent one of them back today because the battery would not hold a charge. The battey was for a cbr 125, waiting on a replacement. i will give it another go and assume i was just unlucky on this occasion.

Hmmm... For £33 I could get a genuine Yuasa one which seem to have too reviews.

Go for the original IMO. Worth the extra few quid, i paid 30 for mine as the honda dealer wanted 45 sheets. after paying close to 9 quid to send it back, i should have looked around and got the original for around 40 as that is what i have now spent lesson learned.
