good / bad?  any feedback?  It's what the local MC shop carries  (only carry sealed). 

thanks all

More reasonably priced than many competitors. Bought one three years ago for my kick-only '72 FX, it's not the sealed type but has lasted well. Charge it for five or six hours every three weeks or so during the winter. I've had good luck with Yuasa, wish I'd bought one for my '79 XLH too, but took leave of my remaining senses that day and spent far too much on an HD battery.

They manufacture the motorcycle batteries for Interstate.

Great batteries, Drag specialties sells them with their name on them and are cheaper than the same batt with the yuasa tag strange but true. Constantly keep tabs on cable bolt tightness big motors and vibrators especially

If yuasa makes an AGM battery, which is leak proof and maintenance free, get it!  They're the best.

Yep... they make an AGM.  I ran a YUASA AGM in my panhead.  Lasts a LOT longer then those old 12V 5.5amp lead-acid batteries.  When the YUASA gave up I went to a generic equivalent of the YUASA.  The YUASA had doubled in price to $150.  Got the generic for about $80.  So far it's been just as strong as the YUASA but only time will tell if it lasts as long.
