    Ouch.......this is the same as asking if you like lager or bitter..........everyone has their favourite, so you will never get a balanced answer

    In that case, semi, for me 16 years, 5 blades and never an issue tracked, toured or commuted and over a 1/4 million miles, and by chance I use the Comp4 XP and think it's excellent

    See, exactly what I said, everyone has their favourite :)

    Had mine dealer serviced last time. OK so mine's an 04 but when I asked what oil they'd put in it they replied.........."same thing we put in all the bikes we service.........."

    I have recently switched from semi to full synthetic. Not sure what difference it will make......
