It is completely false that you cannot use car oil in a motorcycle. There is no such thing as "Car Oil". It's MOTOR OIL and is meant to be used in MOTORS. The only thing to look out for is the following logo:
You also need to look out for oils that are ENERGY CONSERVING. These oils will glaze over your clutches and they will no longer grip at all. Other than those two notes feel free to use whatever oil you like as long as the viscosity is what the manufacturer recommends (10w-40 for a large majority of motorcycles). Rotella-T is traditionally a "car" oil and isn't labeled for motorcycle use but there's no harm in using it in a bike.
