Of course I'm one of those saps who is willing to pay the extra $10 for motorcycle oil (yes its way to expensive but using so little of it) and the only possible difference would be its performance in direct metal on metal contact something one hopes never occurs between it and regular oil.
One of the great characteristics of a moto specific oil is greater shear strength. Oil shears when used in bike trannies. Amsoil M/C oil has the shear characteristics of a 90 weight gear oil. Don't know about the rest but they would be similar in my opinion if they are designed for bike trannies.
