Motorcycle chain lube is intended to be used on o ring chains which actually retain the oil better. It's probably cleaner because it's all gone.
It's also a much thicker oil and designed to work at much higher loads and higher temperatures.

thank you again.

Cons, not designed to work with the chain you are using, our chains wear out due to wear between roller and the bushes that are part of the sideplates and wear at the pins, you need chain oil to get into that area to work, motorbike chain oil isn't designed to do that but to protect for wear between rollers and sprockets, it may work, it may not!

It's too thick to get in to the wear points on a bicycle chain. It will wear a lot quicker than with a bicycle chain lube.
