I use Motul Gear 75W-90, GL-4 in my VIII RS. My buddy uses the OEM stuff and likes it though. To each his own.

Add Redline MT-90 to your list. This lube comes recommended by Jon of TRE, THE Evo gearbox authority.

If I had an MR, I'd go with the OEM - MZ313376 DiaQueen Super Multi Gear Oil 75W-85 GL-4 $77.36 4 ltrs. It might cost more now.
