5 years is pretty good. They will last 6 or more with a battery tender jr. ( Usually :P )

I've seen a few go bad in 3 years or less, because of being left in the cold over the winters, unused/no maintenence.

$86 is cheap if you ask me... I paid $105, but its a different size battery in the J bikes. Higher amp hours.
