It appears to be semi synth and 15/50 so it probably is ok.
Never heard of it but that doesn't make it no good.
Why this brand and not one of the majors ?

Hmmmm - a sales man would say that, wouldn't he? For only 3 quid more you can definitely have the real thing:

Also if you're a member of a bike club they will further discount the price.
Call me cynical, but I take anything a salesman says with a large piece of rock salt...

I used it in my 2001 Falco, it was shit, clutch started slipping right away. I had to drain the lot and ditch it, take out the clutch and clean it up.
I went with Rock Oil Simga 15/50 semi, it works a treat.
Hope this helps
