ive stuck with BMW oem oil but bike is only used on the road
300v on the track RR
7100 on the street RR
C/P from another forum where a Motul sales rep writes this:
"I recommend 7100 for the street person that does occasional track days because it?s still 100% synthetic and it has ester, so it will handle high temperatures no problem. 7100 has more detergents and dispersants for cleaning which will typically allow for longer drain intervals, 5000 miles + depending on the rider. 7100 has an API rating of SM which makes in cleaner for bikes with catalytic converters and O2 sensors. 300V can be used on the street but it?s really designed for racing. 300V has double ester meaning Motul has used 2 types of esters in its formula ? 1 to be used for friction reduction and 1 for extreme pressures. 300V has less detergents and dispersants vs. 7100 because they?re replaced that with extreme pressure additives for built engines. 300V is not API rated because it?s a racing oil and they assume that on a racing bike, you?re going to be pulling off your catalytic converters and O2 sensors."

BMW OEM Oil is just rebadged Shell Advance as per Ducati recommendation for their bikes as well. A very good oil.
I wish Shell still did their extended range of motorcycle products as they were great, but for some reason they stopped doing them but there is stock still out there.

A very good oil in tests and the same can be said for another British oil? Rock oil.
