and if you feel TWS is too thick for your climate or temps in winter, I think the Motul 20W50 7100 is a great 2nd choice...

If you feel the 10W TWS is "too thick" for winter....the 20W-50 Motul would Be EVEN THICKER for those cold winter starts. I guess if you are worried about the "HOT" viscosity the 50wt Motul might be better but on a thermostatically controlled R1200R oil system I think winter oil temps would be no worry. TWS will shear down to a 50wt pretty soon as shown by many Oil Analysis reports.
