Interesting.
I have used Honda GN4 10w 30, changed every 4,000 miles (per Honda's spec), for 76,000+ miles. Starts and runs fine, sounds quiet, shifts smoothly, no clutch slippage.
I have run GN4 10W30 changed every 8,000 miles (per Honda's spec) for 56,000+ miles in my NC 750. Again, starts and runs fine, sounds quiet, shifts smoothly, no DCT clutch slippage.
If you are changing oil every 4,000 miles I don't see where synthetic offers any benefit, but you should certainly run whatever oil makes you feel comfortable.
