Looks like a SG rated oil so should be a fine oil.

For what bike, for what conditions, and what are the manuafacturers specifications
Cheap maybe, but cheap as the only motivator usually has consequences

SG , 20w50 is pretty low spec, ok in some things.
Not that cheap either.

Totally agree!
In fact that's nearly what I paid for Mobil1 4T.

Is that Castrol 4t ok for a sports bike running mainly on road?

It will be fine.
Its pretty hard to fuck up oil. Unless you get one with additives, even that doesn't fuck up anything - it simply slips more.
You wet or dry clutch?

if thats the case - it will run on anything from crude to canola. Trick is to make sure you get the temp range that will suit you.
If unsure go for the broadest range 5w50 is availble. 10w40 is more common.
Trick is to avoid "lubricating additives" that is in most car oil - makes wet plates slip more than a well used pussy.

That's bel ray, it's top stuff.
They're selling it off cheap because the new packaging has come out and bel ray don't want the old packaging on the shelves.
It's a bargain.

Bollocks!
It's mineral oil, so not even close to their top stuff.
