I ran Motul 300V for a little while until I talked with their U.S. office and they said not to leave it in a street bike for more than about 2000 miles. They said it's meant for race machines that get frequent oil changes, so it doesn't have the detergents needed to go longer intervals. They recommended there 7100 full synthetic, which is at the #2 spot in their lineup. I've run it for most of my bike's life so far and it has been fine.
It is a little different though since it's red and smells like perfume when it gets hot. I'd expect no less from a French company...
