I think if you take a visit over to BobIsTheOilGuy.com, you will get the gamut of opinions about oil. Oil additives are a bit different. Most there seem to seek out specific additives that make up for deficiencies as identified in a lab analysis of their oil. Personally I find it to be pseudo-science at best. People seem to just build on everyone else's opinions and before long there is a hive-mind like following for some products when there isn't any scientific evidence to backup the manufacturers claims.
Honestly, just pick an oil (preferably synthetic) specifically designed for use with a motorcycle that has a common sump/wet clutch (Honda or Mobile 1, or one that at least meets all the specifications Honda outlines) and then a good filter (again, Honda or Mobil 1) and change it at least as often as the service interval dictates with regards to time and/or mileage. Do the rest of the service at schedule and the bike might outlast you.
