There are about three battery manufacturers in the world. All the different brands are just rebranded, and made by one of the three...
Get a AGM battery (the technology used, not a brand name). Don't waste time with a gel (OEM was a gel) battery, AGM blows them away.
It's a 12B-BL (not to be confused with a 12-BL). The cheapest in-stock alternative I found was an OEM Yamaha battery, a 12-B4 for $64.
AGM batteries can be shipped UPS.

Get a "Varta LF" it's the best money can buy and plus it has more CCA than any other battery brand that will fit you application !!!

Not too sure about OEM being the best, but I have no complaints. Mine's still going strong. April of '04.
