I always use Castrol, just think its a quality brand and it's easy to get hold of, got the last one from Halfords

Castrol Power 1 semi synthetic, well that's what the Honda dealers recommend, and it's what I use.

yep any quality brand will do the job, just make sure it's a bike specific oil (different additive package to car oil) and obviously the correct grade for your usage.
I've now gone all European and bought a KTM Superduke GT and Aprilia RSV1000R :D ,
Storm is now gone :cry: .

I trust Silkolene Comp4, next pick would be Motul 5100. But it is kind of my obsession, there will be many good oils ...
