The Motobatt is a Chinese knock of of the Odessy, and in Oz it costs less than half the price of a Odessy.
There is a good comparision test somewhere online and the Motobatt comes out top in the things that matter.
My dealer now stocks them exclusivly, and claims he has has had no warrenty claims in over a year.
The Chinese can make whatever you ask, to any spec and quality you are prepared to pay for - just dont expect them to make top quality for a junk price!
I have Motobatts in my G/S and XT600 and in both cases they have transformed them from reluctant starters into first time starters - while they have around a modest 25% more CCA than a SLA battery they are able to supply this and still supply a full 12 1/2 volts to the ignition/ electronics, and this is a great to starting, particularly on an older bike with a bit more voltage drop on the old harness, etc.
