I got about 2 1/2 years out of my first scorpion. I heard they can go 6 or more if you keep them on a battery tender.  I keep my new one plugged in when I'm not riding. 

Battery tender is the way to go or use the bike all the time
I have a 2002 DL650 with the original battery
getting scary I just might swap it out
I just put in a Scorpion into my GS so I'll see how it goes
Have two other bikes with Scorpions that are two years old a TTR230 and KLR250

My Motobatt lasted about 4 years, then died. It still shows 12,8v static, easy, but it just won't output enough amps to turn the motor over.
I chucked in my ancient Bonneville (smaller and old) battery, and it started first kick.
