Default Anyone using Motul oil?

After growing tired of the god awful racket my motor makes with mobil one oil I have started researching oils. Ive found redline to be the most popular choice for quieter operation and just altogether a higher quality synthetic, being a true grade 5 oil.
Only problem being that its not sold anywhere close to here, and the price of shipping puts the price of a simple oil change through the roof.
But....down the street theres a honda dealer that sells motul oil, which is about the only other grade 5 synthetic Ive heard of. Is it in the same class as redline? Its hard to tell, never heard of anyone using it, and am not finding much info or uoa's on the stuff.
Seems like if I gotta spend 9, 10, 11 bucks on a quart of oil I might as well get the best I can get, right?
Please chime in if you have experience with the motul or have in depth knowledge of the stuff. Thanx.

Motul is a high quality brand. I would not hesitate to use it. You can get redline from racer parts wholesale and I think they ship free for orders over $100.

They have redline on Amazon.com also. Motul makes some great chain lube. Used it for years in motocross. Never used any of there lube oils.

My cousin uses it in his KTM that he drives the crap out of for the last 12 years.
