Looking to replace the battery for a good reasonable priced one

I've been reading and it seems Motobatt aren't as good as they were ?

Dynavolt Gel is mentioned ... which model ?

Traditional Varta / Yuasa ?

I’ve got a bog standard Yuasa on the 550, has been fine for 2 years and still going strong.

I have a Motobatt on my Fireblade, it’s good as long as you have it on a trickle charger. Once Motobatts go flat they seem to struggle to recover, have had to send two back for replacement under warranty.

Motobatt for me every time, they seem to survive long periods of inactivity with no problem.

Me too.

All my bikes have Motobatt batteries.

I think there was a dodgy batch of Motobatt batteries a few years ago.
It hasn't put me off buying them there in all of my bikes and can go for months of inactivity.
I have had the same one in my 750 since 2012
