I apologize for a recent typo. The believe the API tests oils to 350 deg. F, which converts to about 177 deg. C. for 100 hours. Another article I read says 150 deg. C MINIMUM. The viscosity breakdown allowed is dependent on the service level for which the oil is being certified.
The API does a great job testing oils for gasoline and diesel powered cars and trucks, etcetera. I have not found any tests that are specific to motorcycles.
Avoid using oil engineered to improve gas mileage in your Honda
