Nippy Norman's is advertising an Odyssey battery for the RS1200 <2016
They call it a modified version with fittings, model MKS-PC535LC.

At last! Worth waiting for..
(Unfortunately I've recently changed my battery 😖)

nearly 4x the price of an AGM Exide https://www.tayna.co.uk/motorcycle-batteries/exide/etx14-bs/

and plenty of other makes https://www.tayna.co.uk/motorcycle-batteries/types/ytx14-bs/

before AGM batteries were common, the extra price of the AGM Odyssey batteries was worth the cost. I fitted one in 2004 to my R1150GS that was still on the bike when I sold it in 2011. I am not convinced they are worth the extra cost now AGM is universal.

I got 7 years out of an Odyssey on my R 1100 S. In fact when my 1st was "T-boned" and written off, it was swapped to the replacement S. The 2nd Odyssey lasted another 7 + years until the bike was traded in for my first RS.

The Yuasa in the 1st RS lasted 3 years. Those bikes had the short "factory special" smaller batteries, and was always "weak"

Things change all the time. Quality goes up and down. In my experience over 20 years with BMW, Odyssey and normal factory fitted or name brand batteries, Odyssey is worth the money.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.
