And fine and dandy it is for the Airhead boxers.. but is not the correct spec for the Oil/Air cooled boxers from 93 onwards.
I'm not afraid to use unbranded oil on my pride and joy.. however I absolutely WILL NOT use an engine oil thats the incorrect spec. in the case of Castrol Classic.. its an API - SE - which as Castrol say is fine for engines PRE 1980. Thats an engine design thats at least 13 years Older than the Oldest 1100!!!
BMW give a minimum spec of SF or above. and there is a multitude of choices.. that are at least the Correct Specification.

Why has it gone off the shelves? We still get 20/50 Cstrol GTX for GBP 10 or GBP 11 per 5litres depends on exchange rate and they do a "high mileage" version for about a couple of quid more for 5 litres?
Find a Rock Oil distributor , they do a very nice 20/50 Semi Synthetic , go on you know she's worth it 
Rock Oil Guardian 20w-50 Semi-synthetic
I've been using this for a few years now & find it really suits the GS(1150). It really seems to keep it's viscosity for the 6K interval. Recommended

Thats the one
Always used to use Rock Oil in my sportsbikes in the 90's but it seemd to become harder to find and went over to Castrol. The last 3 oil changes I did on the GS were done using Guardian . Still got a full can in the garage
One option Mike, from Hein Gericke:

Proff, you've strayed into oilhead territory
+1 for local Partco get the oil at trade price- costs about £10 for five litres. SF spec, used it loads of times, got 50k+ on the clock now and it still sounds quiet.
Why?
It's an engine designed for more modern semi-synthetic oils, I can understand the argument for low detergent mineral oils for 20 year old Airheads with unknown history, but in an Oilhead? Reckon you're better sticking with what's recommended.
No it's not - it's an engine designed for the correct grade and specification of oil, just like any other engine. Mineral oil of the correct grade is fine for a low-stressed engine with 6k mil service intervals - it doesn't need semi-synth or fully-synth but if that's what you want to put in then fine.
Oh I do like a good oil thread, especially at this time of the year when the nights are closing in, most of the events are all but a distant memory and the ride reports start to dry up .
