The best sounding sportsbike title btw is shared by the R1 and Aprilia if thats important to you.
To my understanding , both behave like a 15 weight oil at cold temps.
15-50 behaves like a 50wt at operating temp.
15-40 behaves like a 40wt at operating temp.
So the 15-50 maintains greater viscosity at operating temperature (i.e. thins less as it warms).
The 15-40 isn’t “thicker”.
He’s in the UK - awful roads, cameras everywhere… it’s not great. Thankfully I’m no longer there and now live one hour from Most (current WSBK venue) and two hours from Brno (former, and hopefully again quite soon, MotoGP circuit).
There are some good roads around here but I don’t have a load of endless canyon roads within ten minutes - if I did I might spend more time on the road.
That being said, there are no cars on the track and everything’s going in the same direction, with consequences of crashes perhaps not quite so bad as on a road.

You have nice brothels there too
Meant 10-40, sorry
All good.
Although 10-40 is not “thicker” than 15-50.
10-40 flows like a 10wt oil at cold temps and like a 40wt oil at operating temps, meaning it tends to not thicken as much as the 15-50 might when cold, and it tends to thin more than the 15-50 when hot.

there was a std 2023 street fighter going around Jerez this week ( along with two KTM 1390 things, and a 1200 Multistrada and two Kramer/ktms) .....he was enjoying himself....
