Amazon!! Not much more than mobile 1, and recommended by my indy who only works on porsche and exotics. Supposed to be a true full synthetic.

Sure. Easy for you guys in the states to get the stuff at a reasonable price. Add +30% import tax and the +15% re-seller prime over that retail price :/

Best oil money can buy no doubt there, in fact if you rev a hot engine that Motul racing line is what you want. Track bike knocks down a good -8 to -10dC over any other oil we've tried, that-is-a-LOT btw. Only disadvantage is its just really sticky at cold starts, can't rev this before 55~60dC also (can't have it all I guess).

I'll have a look see I can get into that 8100 reasonably priced. Worth a try, I'm sure.
