I have used only good quality engine oil on my bikes for the past 50 years and have never had a mechanical issue that you could put down to lubrication problems. Be careful. Have a good Xmas. Ask Santa for some expensive oil.The only difference (assuming they both conform to the same SAE standards, and do not have friction modifiers) is that one charges a premium for putting the word "motorcycle" on the packaging.
