Default What brand synthetic oil do you use

Synthetic is obviously better, so what brand does everybody use. I'm wondering what the most popular brand is. I have a suspicion that Amsoil is not very popular, just because you can't get it as easily as the others.

Now, I'm not trying to start anything. I'm just trying to get an idea of what the most popular synthetics are.

I don't know about AMSoil being hard to get....I have picked it up at most of the Independant Cycle shops here in the valley.

I use Amsoil but I have to go about 40 miles from my house to get it.I went to O'Reilys the other day and they had the Lucus Synthetic 20/50 motorcycle oil.It is on the way to work so I think that I will switch to the Lucus next oil change.
