If there were an absolute best we would all know it and we would all use it. I use Mobil1 VTwin simply because it is available virtually everywhere. Is it the best? I have no idea. But it is surely good enough to protect the engine.

Aw come on guys, everyone knows you have to use the HD brand oil and filter ...if you don't, the bike's warranty is void.
