One thing to note: The Motul is supposed to be great, but I believe it is a racing fluid, and in general with Motul or Castrol, etc. racing brake fluids they absorb moisture from any air they come into contact with very quickly. This tends to mean that you'll have to bleed the brakes fairly often to get rid of a spongy brake pedal.. so unless you want to be doing that every week or two it's probably not adviseable for your street car.
That's just the thing.. lots of street bike guys, and I-Club dudes run Motul, and say it's great, and doesn't absorb water too bad... Which is why it's so bank: racing performance, street maintence... but never having ponied up and tried it, that's all heresay.
