Why not use same oil in all the bikes?

I pretty much do. I ran the T6 in my scooter because I rode it a lot in the winter and I also use T6 in my jeep. The M1 15w50 was bought on clearance for 2 bucks a quart. I'm gonna use T5 blend the next go around.
 
Motorcycle: 1986 Yamaha FZX700

Oil Out: Golden Spectro Part Syn. 10W40

2012 Can Am Spyder, 8500 total miles. Out, 2700 on Valvoline 10w40 MC oil, HiFlo cartridge, Rotax trans filter. In, Mag-1 10w40 MC oil, same HiFlo/Rotax filter combo.
 
I've put a straight SAE30 in my 1974 Moto Guzzi Stornello 160, it only has a diesel rating on the bottle, but on the website they say for mixed fleet petrol and diesel. I haven't tried it yet, but don't think I'll notice any difference.



The primary drive is a bit of a shear factory.

 
a short interval OCI...autumn, winter storage, early spring (750-1000 miles); SuperTech 9688 filter & a mix of oils (1 qt SuperTech 10w-40 pcmo, 1 qt Chevron Delo 400 XLE 10w-30 hdeo, 1/2 qt of 'frankenbrew' leftover as 'top off' oil, @ 250-300 mL of Peak 10w-40 pcmo) to bring level to top of fill zone on dipstick; rode bike to & from work today (@ 16 miles total) with no problems
