I dont doubt synthetic is better in the long run but why spend the extra for synthetic when I dont keep my bikes long enough to benefit from using synthetic ?

It's your call. As long as you use proper oil, it won't matter much in your case. If I still lived in Iowa, I could make a case for dino, not here in hell. I will say that bikes that share oil between transmission and engine are a lot harder on oil.
