Don't think that it being called diesel oil in any way makes it bad. Rotella is also called universal engine oil. It had no friction modifiers so its wet clutch rated. It has detergent packages to suspend particulates (think clutch material), and compression and shear stability higher than most car oils (think gearbox duty and higher rpm film stability in the cylinder). It also has a high zinc level, which is ideal for the type of cam followers they come with stock. Rotella T4 is quite literally the type of oil it was intended to run, and shares most of the same qualities with that of a t4 motorcycle oil.
I have been running T6 15w40 in my Hawk since the 200 mile mark. My bike loves it, and I am pushing 2k mile oil changes.
At the end of the day, run whatever oil you like. As long as it's wet clutch rated and at least a 10w40, it will be just fine. Regular servicing will do more good for your engine than whatever type of oil you run.
