I have a store not too far away, just wait for the right price and swing by and stock up. 

Currently have this in my bike

Good old Castrol gtx is as good as anything for these old engines. Used their 15/40 for many years when most placed sold it at reasonable prices.

K2-K6:
As noted by Bryan, looking at the more detailed specifications should clarify what they are offering.

I buy a very specific transmission oil (fully synthetic for ZF auto) that is well categorised, identified for a number only for type as it can be used in place of very high cost car manufacturer bottles. 

Westway seem quite good technically, but some products may superficially look the same on initial approach, especially where plain viscosity is replicated for different manufacturer specs.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The same issue about specification comes into play with modern fully synthetic oils.
Our car specifies SAE 0W/20 VCC-RBSO-ZAE at over £20 a litre.
There are a variety of Shell or Castrol SAE 0/W20 oils but they have different letters in the specification with some at half the price.
At one time you could buy Asda branded mineral oils at bargain prices in our local store. Now it's synthetic or part synthetic at much greater cost.
