According to my book synthetic 15w-50 for the daytona, for the bandit 10w-40 semi or full synthetic.

10w-40 is fine for the other one too, semi cost choice, fully quality choice.

The Castrol is fine and we do it at a good price ;)

Thanks Guy, you've pretty much confirmed what I've always thought Re: semi cost choice, fully quality.
Up until last year I used Silkolene Pro 4, the only reason I swapped to Castrol was because the local dealer didn't have any Silkolene.

As per the book unless you are tracking the bike or it is modified in which case the change periods should be shortened.
