accumulator/battery - urgent message

Hi
My battery was totally lost. I'm thinking of changing it. Official Bmw service offered 170 euro for a new one, which is too high-price.
I wonder if any cheaper brands would be replaced... they are applicable for such a good brand Bmw? especially for r1150r? May it cause harm to motor? or do I have to put that Bmw Service proposed comprimisng much more green?
appreciate..
burak

Note: possible brand I may put which is around 110 euro yueassa (something like that, not know how to write its name) is it ok?

Any after market brand of the right size, shape and rating (12 volt, 14-20 AmpHrs) will do. Insure the terminals will fit up there under the tank without touching in the close confines.

I agree also and just make sure the layout of the connectors is the same as the one you have.

You should be able to find the YUASA Brand, specific to your bike, at a lesser cost.
