To preserve the life of the clutches, I generally prefer to change the oil more frequently on a bike.
That way I get the best performance from the fluid, while performing OCI's a little more frequently.
If I had something like a BMW with a dry clutch, I'd certainly run the fancy stuff at the manufacturers recommended OCI.
When I say oil change interval, I mean however long I leave the oil in the bike. If we're talking track use, that could only be a couple days of use on the track. The brake fluid gets changed that often for track use too. Not to mention the tires.
For street use, I rarely go as long as the manufacturer specified OCI for mileage, as I like to put a bike away for winter, with fresh oil in it. The riding mileage gets spread over 7 bikes, so none are racking up big annual mileage individually.
You can certainly try the Rotella to see if it meets your expectations.
