Oil is your engines blood, why compromise for the sake of a few quid, £25 should get you a good bike specific semi syth oil. Just my opinion.

Why oh why do people try to save a few quid skimping on the most important thing in prolonging engine life . My opinion only!

For me car engine oil is usually used in lower revving engines than bikes, so would it stand up to being worked harder Perhaps the ratings for it say it would.
Personally (as others have said) I would rather stick with oil designed for bikes, only my opinion I know.

As I understand oil is just the product used to carry the additives around your engine, the additives being what actually protects your engine. If less money is used in producing the final product, so it can be sold cheaper, then surely less additives are in a cheaper oil. Perhaps I'm talking garbage
