If I plan ahead, Shell Rotella at Wally World. Cheapest you'll find. If i'm lazy I'll get what Competition Cycle has. I go there to get the filter because I like the K&N filter with the nut built into it because I'm lazy

Was using Honda GN4 until they raised the price from 17.99 for the 4 quart container dino oil to 28.99!


Next time I'm going synthetic.. It'll cost me the same or a little less.... sheesh.

Repsol....used to get accused of being a "MotoGP Fanboy" till they actually rode my bike...I'm amazed at how much difference oil can make in a bike.

they charge 13.99 a quart for this at cycle gear. but then again cycle gear price matches so i tell them that walmart has the same oil for 8.97 a quart. but then again walamrt never ever has it in stock so it helps me out a li bit. so i save a few bucks and get my filter from them too. love this oil.

I go with the Rotella synthetic because Scudman said so and he is an engineer and did a hell of a lot more research than me

I have never tried Rotella, or Repsol, but I know for a fact that the Amsoil made a huge difference in the shifting of my old zx11 when it had an 11 engine in it, never tried it with the 1200 motor, but I'd bet it would be noticeable also. I still like my Mobil 1 Racing 4T, though.. very good oil in my opinion. but that's just me
