I.E. the worst oil in the best engine is likely to skew results.

Actually, the test meant even less when I think more about it. Different riders on each unit not likely even 2 of them would treat an engine the same, warmups, shift intervals, etc. etc.


Add in the fact that different bikes have different engine speed ranges..
BOWs tend to be lower revving bikes than ducatis and Japanese sport bikes...

At least from the auto side current BMW auto engines have much tighter tolerances than older ones...
And of course modern cold-hot viscosity oils are supposedly better for the close tolerances...
