dont use car oil,it aint good enough . Motorbikes engine and gearboxes share the same oil. Use a good semi syn like motul 5100 semi syn.
IF YOU WANT COMFORT BY A CAR IF YOU WANT SPEED BUY A HAYABUSA 194MPH,QUARTER MILE 9.86 sec @ 145.80 MPH

For the last 10 years I've used Morris semi synthetic 10/40 car oil in my bikes.

I did 130,000 miles om my first NTV before I sold it, my second has just completed 100,000. My VFR is only on 40,000 but none of these bikes used a drop of oil between 8,000 mile oil changes despite being driven hard in all conditions. 

My local motor factors sells it at about £15 a gallon. I can't see much point in paying over the odds for special bike oils unless you are racing a super sports model.
