james,
different bike motors have different requirements.
a bike developing 160hp per liter has a vastly different requirement than 1940's technology.
15,000 rpm vs 7,000 rpm.
shared sump vs isolated tranny.

just remember this:
new oil beats used oil every single time!!!

If you are looking for cheap, good oil you can't beat the Shell Rotella T 15w40 (dino) and the Shell Rotell T 5w40 (synthetic, sorta). You can get it in gallon jugs at WalMart. Both will work just fine in a engine turnin' 15,000 rpm and producing 160 hp.
