Why pay the extra if the cheaper oils can do the job just fine? From my experience, the cheaper oils do just fine for normal road use. I buy Halfords semi m/c oil 'cos you get 5 litres for the price of four, but I don't expect anyone else to buy it. If you're that worried about the oil you use then buy the best you can afford, it's your money.
My only caveat would be if you have a turbo/nitrous drag racer Fazer or regularly do trackdays in the 'fast' group; then worry more about the oil type.
Now we're reaching page 2 of the thread, the solitary mineral oil fan and fully synthetic oil fan will soon chime in with their views, causing another 4 thread pages of argument going round in circles
