Very good article about motorcycle oils

[Dangerous Dave]

Just ran across a VERY detailed article about car vs. motorcycle-specific oils. Very technical...almost too much info. It was in Sport Rider magazine. You can read it here. There's a link to part two at the bottom of the page.

Good info, but I was disappointed they didn't draw a stronger conclusion.

There is a second part to that article. Its also very good. It was published in a later edition of MAG.

I never read the first part, very interesting.

Me too, but that's how it always is. Same thing a year or two ago from Motorcycle Consumer News...more technical data than you can easily digest without a clear winner. I think the problem is that there is no clear winner. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses depending on the qualities you desire or require from your oil. Still alot of good info.
