Can anyone offer any advice on where I can get the best value battery for my YBR125? Or how much a reasonable price is for one?

I go for Yuasa or motobatt, had good experiences with both.

Buy from whoever is cheapest.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Agreed.

Be careful of the idiots who phaph around on delivery arrangements.
Just check that carefully.
The delay those wankers can create is not part of a bargain.

I use these guys. They have a wide selection of prices and they don't piss about with the delivery.

The last time I got one, it was from Halfords. I'd tried other places that were more expensive and didn't have stock so I was waiting. I went for the Halfords one as cheaper and in stock - at the time my bike was my only method of getting to and from work (Honda CBF125)

Last battery I got was from ebay, something like £22 for a Yuasa, I thought it would be roughly the same price in a shop (to save waiting for it to be delivered).... for the exact same battery they wanted £56 Shocked

You can buy a bike battery anywhere except in the UK.

As others have said, Tayna, your local friendly bike shop or
even Halfords if you can afford their prices.

As a couple of others have said Tayna, used them a few times without issue.
