...It's your $$, I'll let you decide if you feel the need and/or benefit of using the pure POE base 300V oil in your bike. For what it's worth, Redline and Silkolene are very similar POE based oils, if you're bargain shopping and one or both of these oils is available to you locally for same or lesser cost, you may also want to consider them as alternative to the Motul 300V. No matter which oil you choose, I'd highly recommend using 15-50 viscosity in any Ducati motor. Take care
It's funny you should mention this. I was talking to a co-worker today who used to race bikes and he also mentioned that for how I ride (or most people) we would never degrade the life of the oil to dangerous levels if we keep a 2-3k oil change interval with dino/synthetic oil.
So it looks like I have a lot more options. I like them all; Motul, Redline, Silkolene and Mobil1. It's unfortunate that seeing all of them on the shelves is rare

. It will probably come down to what is popular in my area.
I'm partial to full synthetics because we don't have to tap natural resources (hopefully) to create it. God knows I've taken my fair share of petroleum based products.
So I think I'll go look for some Motul 300v. If I can't find any, then it will be Mobil1.
Silkolene, forget about it. It's not going to be available near me or I would have seen/heard about it by now. I didn't hear of it till I joined this board although, this is what I would probably get if I saw it on the shelf and it wasn't overpriced.
Redline, I would have to schlep to an automotive speedshop to maybe find it.
Thanks for everyone's suggestion. You've been a well behaved bunch today.

There were some really great responses.
