Hey guys,
I see AMC and Dirtdigger still answering everyone questions. I'm hoping you can answer mine.
I need a new battery for a BMW and I'm looking at both the Yuasa and Niche. The price is the same and both are AGM type. Yuasa seems to have been around forever and Niche fairly new. The Niche has some impressive specs though. I'm hoping someone has some experience with Niche batteries?
Niche YT19BL vs Yuasa YT19BL-BS
TLDR;
The motorcycle gods have smiled on me again and I have been given a 97 BMW R1100R. (Same price I paid for my 74 CB750K) I know first hand that it was dropped off at the dealer about a year ago with instructions to "Make it like new". It was ridden daily after that until the owner bought a HD. The BMW was parked last summer and he forgot to hook up the battery tender.
PS My Honda will be going up for sale, if anyone gives a shit It's far from stock and could sure use some TLC but it fires right up and runs great.
