In most case, unless an engine is torn down and inspected, you won’t know if there is any abnormal wear. Watch the video below on why you should not use diesel oil in a gas engine.

Context matters. The clickbait part of the video showing piston damage was specifically addressing how oils with high calcium content can cause LSPI (low speed pre ignition) and its resulting damage in gasoline direct injection engines.
There are exactly zero production motorcycle engines that use gasoline direct injection.
This isn't to say the video is completely wrong or useless. He mentions that diesel oils have additional additives to handle the soot which gasoline engines don't really need in those quantities, and that isn't wrong.
