Type any brand name of oil in the search and you will get hundreds of discussions.
There is nothing stating which brands the best just personal preferences.

I always used Motul 5100 in my older bikes when I was living in Australia and the stuff was great! Why are you looking to switch? Do you want something cheaper? Are you looking for a full synthetic? Motul 300V is a great full synthetic and 7100 is a bit cheaper.

Just use the search option..there are more than enough oil threads that go into full discussion. Also google helps a ton.

You'll get a lot of people who'll vote for Rotella because you can get it at Walmart and it's cheap.

I don't know if they have Wal Mart in the UK. They might have Big-W but they don't stock all the same stuff. Not even sure Shell Rotella is an internation brand? Never heard of it before I moved to the states. Silkolene and Motul were the popular brands in Australia. Both and good but I always used Motul.
