Default Brake fluid

I was wondering what kind of brake fluid i should use, I am going to be replacing my brake lines with those kevlar brake lines and was just wondering what type of fluid to replace it with, Should i use the honda brand or can i go to autozone and pick something off the shelf from there?

I've used Motul RBF600 on an automobile and it worked great. Just be prepared to flush the system often.

I am going to do a full fluid replacement on my CBR 600 F4 this winter and I am going to use DOT 5. I use it in my Goldwing and old 750 K3 and I find absolutely no down sides at all.
