No need to warp your mind with all the choices available or the relative merits of each. Your bike doesn't need anything exotic. Shell Rotella T (not T5 or T6) 15W40 is good, old-fashioned motor oil and meets all the right specs.
It's cheap. You can buy it by gallon and it's available just about anywhere (Walmart, Autozone, etc.). Change it every 3K and you're good to go.
