An optimate would be my choice.  Personally I charge the battery up then disconnect from the charger and recharge a week later. Not too keen on leaving charger connected all the time.

As the poster above mentioned, Optimate (by TecMate) is the best way to go. Here's the one I am using:

Mine is Honda branded and I purchased at the dealer for rough;y $50 CDN about 5 years ago. It is one of the best devices I've ever purchased for my bike and I leave it plugged in all winter. So do my buddies and dealerships. It will keep your battery in tip-top shape. 

 

Are you near Montreal? We should organize a CDN-VFR meet-up! ;)

 

Take care, welcome to the board and keep it rubber side down!
