Best engine oil and shaft oil?

Hi


I am in Scotland and will have new GTR delivered Saturday. Which is the best engine oil and shaft oil for the GTR? i've been told to stick to mineral oil for first 3000miles then go to semi synthetic. All advise would be greatly appreciated.

I break my bikes in within the first 100 miles. Yes, I am a big believer of seating the rings in the first 50 miles. Been doing that since the '70s. I usually change my oil two or three times in the first 500 miles. After that I use Mobil 1 4T motorcycle oil.
My bikes are always fast and never burn oil.
