Battery questions?

I was wondering how many years the original battery lasted. I recently bought a '99 GS 400 that has a 65 month battery in it. If the original battery made it 4 years then I should be able to get through this winter before replacing this one (I don't expect this one to be good for more than 3.5-4 years at most). Any opinions?

I have 2 original Toyota batteries (made by GNB Technologies..Exide). One is 7 years old the other is 6. I'm thinking of replacing the 7 year old because it's sulfating heavily now. The other has minor sulfating just begining on the negative terminal.
