Rotella is actually primarily used for Deisel engines, mainly 18 wheelers, but it is safe to use regular motor oil in your motorcycle as long as it doesn't say ENERGY CONSERVING on it. And as for why motorcycle oil is more than regular oil, because they can I guess. And actually if you did not have a motorcycle that had a wet clutch (the transmission uses the motor oil for lubrication) you could use any kind of motor oil you wanted, energy conserving or not.
