We Miata owners know about gel cell batteries. They don't last any longer, but cost a bunch more. The reason in the Miata is because the battery is in the trunk, a bad place for an acid spill. No motorcycle I'm aware of ever has had a gel cell stock. There are some solid state replacements, but primarily used for racing, often in a total loss situation.
