Default what to look for?

Exactly what should the oil container not say for it to be good for motorcycles? Is there wording, a symbol, whatever that we should look for? I say this because that last 3 times I went to buy oil it looked to me as though every oil was acceptable. I've been looking at all the bottles carefully and don't recall seeing the phrase "friction modifiers added" or "environmentally whatever" on any of the bottles. At AutoZone, Advance Auto and Wal-Mart, the Castrol, Quaker State, Mobil, Rotella, Havoline, etc., all appear to be fine to use. Somebody please clarify this for me cause I'm not seeing something.
