It is. You wanted to see the test results, so just look at that part of it.

You can easily (and pretty affordably) run your own tests, based on the oil performance on your bikes, with your riding style, and your preferred oil change intervals.
I have very little brand loyalty, but Amsoil consistently delivers across the board.

Actually,
they do. Its just not a motorcycle-specific formula.
There are alternatives though. Have you looked at Motul's product line? Those are also very high-performing oils.

You should be able to run 10W-40. My bike calls for 10W-30, but I've always run 10W-40 due to the temps here in the summer. It's an optional grade listed in the Honda owners manual.
