The Sprite is probably lighter than a Gold Wing or many Harleys.
When I was riding them, the heaviest HD weighed (Decker Classic) in at

Does anyone know when this change in engine design took place?
I first noticed the changes in manufacturer recommendations in the 80s,

Unless you're having issues with the current oil you're using, why switch? I
