I just submitted a sample to Blackstone from a 2004 BMW R1150RT that was run 6942 miles with Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 over a period of 18 days. The miles were mostly highway with temps ranging from nearly 100F in the southwest to in the 40s going through Colorado and NM. There was some spirited riding through the Black Hills of SD also (when in Rome, right?) and a limited amount of stop / go riding in Las Vegas (I was glad to have the M1 in while in Vegas and Arizona).
The bike currently has 46737 miles on it and 0.5 qts. of make-up oil was used during this run.
How do you guys think the M1 VTwin held up? I'll post the results when I get them back. . .
