Welcome to the site.
You want to use T6? That may or may not be a good idea, but not for the reasons you mention.
Synthetics are great tools to extend your OCIs. But if you're not going to do so, then they are a waste of money. Conventional oils will perform every bit as well in "normal" durations.
If you'll be more specific about your potential application(s), we'd be in a better position to give decent advice.
Today's HDEOs do very well in wet clutch bikes; I've used them for years and years with no ill effects and great UOAs. Many motorcycle specific items are marketed to bikers because, as a luxury niche, they are willing to pay way more than necessary to baby their investment, when "normal" items will work just as well. OIl and filters are perfect examples.
