I'v heard nothing but good about this oil, from (Bob is the oil guy forum) and its now a JASO MA rated oil, if I did nothing but street riding I would use this oil, but since I do trackdays and have a heavily modded motor, I use Redline 20w50. (Better basestock) Aloha Alex

Apologies for the non-Ducati reference, but I've run this oil 40K miles in my Triumph Daytona 955i. Can't remember where I originally saw the write-up, but some oily dude wrote a very convincing case as to why it was an excellent option at a most excellent price. I just purchased a new HM and was planning on sticking with it. Also, my local Wally World got wise to the price a couple of years ago and jacked it up to around $20/gal...still a good deal though.
