Shell Rotella is a great motorcycle oil and it's quite reasonably priced.
Yes, good old Rotella T 15W40 Diesel engine oil.....standard mineral oil, non synthetic. JASO MA rated / approved. Very reasonable price, and works well in our old, relatively slow revving KZ engines.....I buy it by the 5 gallon pail when it goes on sale where I am. I use it in old tech stock engines below 10 000 RPM. First start up / initial break-in of any new rebuilt engines always with Rotella T.....
The CBX's and high performance old KZ stuff gets JASO MA semi - synthetics after break-in (Can-Am's, Brad Penn, Suzuki's, or Yamaha's brands of oil), and the 10 000 + RPM new stuff (R1's, GSXR's) get full synthetics....but at something like 5 times the cost of the Rotella T.....

Universal formula for how many motorcycles one should own = n + 1, where n is how many motorcycles you own right now....
